Re-imagining Munch's Oddysee

I know we can all agree that Munch's Oddysee is the worst Oddworld game out of the four released. It may have been a fair game in its own right, however for an Oddworld game, it left alot to be desired.
Munch's Oddysee turned the creepiness of Oddworld into cartooniness, which was possibly the worst move short of making the whole game an interactive alien blood orgy, where all the aliens are inside-out, hence the blood.

With Munch's Oddysee as it is, I've been thinking of so many different things that could make the game superb, may they be completely new ideas demanding a re-image of the game, or specific things that could give Munch's Oddysee that extra creepiness that it needed.

My first thought was to utilize the fact that it's a three dimensional game, and have a specific Munch mission that is completely underwater, where the atmosphere is dark and misty, and there are creatures moving in and out of the dark, including a giant Sea Rex slithering its way through the background, yet somehow remains the focus of attention, considering the player shouldn't really know what they're supposed to be doing yet. I think a level like that, with the whole game following the same extremely creepy suit, would be amazing.

I have heaps more images in my head that could give some awesomeness to Munch's Oddysee, however I'll leave the rest to you. We can't change what Munch's Oddysee turned out to be, however we can use our imaginations to pretend we can change it to give it that Oddworld 'Odd'.

Add your thoughts and ideas on how you would change Munch's Oddysee to make it what you think it should've been. Happy imagining.
