"Hello."

An ancient Adventure game, which aged terribly... which is understandable. What is not understandable is it doesn't have Steam overlay, which limits the access of Steam's social and browsing features, and disables taking screenshots. Not that there is anything good-looking to be captured, considering how bad this game looks, but despite its ancient graphics I have noticed how realistic the movement of the main character alien is. In the past developers didn't have 3D graphics, nor nearly as good program development tools and hardware as some developers have them nowadays, but they found ways to mimic realism by recording motion of the real actors. Unfortunately, not many do that nowadays, as most developers settle with making good-looking graphics, but that does not necessarily increase the immersion, if the physics are not mimicking reality.

Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee is dated, 2D Adventure game, with weird, outlandish art style, where the character moves in two directions, must jump over obstacles and traps, climb the obstacles, sneak, hide and avoid the detection of the enemies, while moving through the factory, which used to be the working place of the main character, before he found out what was going on with his management.

The game is too old for anyone to care, let alone to recommend it to someone, but people who played it back in the days know all they need to know about it, as they go on their nostalgia trip. Some things should stay in the past. It sends crash message every time I exit the game. Not recommended.

"Goodbye."
