Hallo from Germany. We still wait since 1997, when Lorne Lanning said by an Interview, that this game is a Quintology , odf “Squeek´s Oddysee and of an cinema film from Abe. When did you think to continue Abe´s Story?
Squeek’s Oddysee is a story very dear to our hearts. It was the first story Lorne told Sherry to convince her to found Oddworld Inhabitants. We will get around to making it, one day, when the time is right.
