Oddworld Oddworld outside gaming?

Last year I was overlooking the guy sitting next to me in Maths. He was drawing Stranger, I flipped back and saw he'd drawn other characters from the series too. I asked him if he liked the games. He stared at me with a blank face. "They're video games now?" I asked him how he found out about Oddworld he said he found the Art of Oddworld book at his uncle's house. Not knowing that it was a game he became fascinated with the series without ever playing the game.

This intrigued me, Is the Oddworld series really that good a narrative? How could someone become so passionate about a story without even playing any of the games? It's like knowing all there is to know about Football, without playing it or seeing a match.
