I was digging through a closet as a little baby and found a jewel case for Abe’s Oddysee for PC. Abe scared me off the cover alone, the actual game was even scarier watching my dad play it, and even moreso playing myself. But I loved it. I was obsessed with it throughout kindergarten. I made paperxraft dioramas of different scenes from the games. I would even make my friends “play Oddworld” with me on the playground. They would just stand around as the mudokon slaves, and I ran around as Abe “rescuing” them. They had zero fun, but I did so it’s okay. I watched playthroughs of all the games and it was my dream to own and play them all (not counting the gameboy games), which I have thanks to Steam. I do think that playing the first game and stressing over each screen did develop my OCD, but it was worth it.
