 Soulstorm Brew is still at the centre of the story, but everything else has been rewritten.The first game was about Abe waking up to his own slavery, and "Exoddus" focused on their slavery to habits and addictions, but Lanning aims to make "Soulstorm" more volatile and devious by implementing mechanics left out of "Exoddus" that compare Soulstorm Brew to napalm and allow the player to splash surfaces and coat things to set them alight.Lanning also says the game is darker because Abe is going to realise the scope of his task to save the world, but that the Oddworld humour remains saying the game is funnier than ever before.
