The River

This month's Alf's Anonymous reveals more about the river we have so far only been given tid bits of information about. After discussing it in depth with Max and hobo, we've come to the conclusion that the river depicted in many artworks is a central part of the next Oddworld game. Allow me to explain ourselves.
  • Stranger rides in a boat, and what is a river good for? Rowing boats! The logic is phenomenal!
  • On one of the trading cards handed out at this year's GDC, a certain outlaw boss had his favourite quote as: "Blood may be thicker than water, but water is where the money is at!". This leads us to believe that a "mission" (if we dare refer to them as that) would be to save the river from damming. The immediate effect on the environment and its inhabitants are a predictable dire situation.
  • In this month's AIA, you'll also notice that the inhabitants living in Stranger are refered to as "the creatures of the river".
  • Finally, the rock art on the cave walls depict beings that descended onto the river long ago, and caused some sort of havoc.
  • A river dries up
  • There is a water bottling plant
