The planet of Oddworld isn't set anywhere in particular, but I think you'll find the creators, when interrogated, will tell you it 'takes place' in a different dimension/universe/reality/plane of existance to our own.

I don't like the idea oddworld could be in the same "dimension" as the Earth.
I don't want any "physical" relation between them

I wish it were real!

If it were as close as the moon to earth, It'd be really cool, coz all the Oddworldians cud take their holidays on Earth and we'd have vykkers and mudokons and stuff walking around the streets of London and New York, window shopping and stuff!

And we could do the same to their planet.

Hmmm... I wonder if they'd enslave us, or are we too good for them/too well respected/too tough?

Oddworld is in another dimension, as it were. I'll just go and get the quote.

:
While Oddworld exists in a different plane than our Earth, its inhabitants can't escape the issues that seem to glom onto any sentient beings, regardless of location.
See? Problem solved.

I think Oddworld exists in the most deepest cornor of the Universe. In an unknown galaxy. When you play AO in the Stock Yards the night sky looks so unknown and so alien that it seems you were sent there and now you are lost somewhere in the Universe. It reminds me of sort of the "out skirts of the Universe" to me. A deep cornor on the edge of the Universe where you can look up and you could see the rest of the Universe. Odd isn't it!

That is very true Jacob, the creator holds the world in the increadable organic dream maker the brain. Oddworld is a powerful place made by a powerful mind of imagination,and life,human life.

Well, I think it's better to play Oddworld than be enslaved by Glukkons, chased by Scrabs and Paramites, beaten by Sligs and biten by Slogs. Think about it...
