It is a free download for all current and future owners of New ‘n’ Tasty.
Your first question should be, who is Alf?
You might remember Alf as a fez-donning, tea-drinking, Mudokon from Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus. Your next question might be, how does Alf fit in with Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty?
When Oddworld Inhabitants – the creators of the Oddworld franchise – were developing New ‘n’ Tasty, they had a ton of ideas and concepts that they loved. As development progressed, they had to sacrifice some of those ideas. But they didn’t want to let them go to waste so they decided to create a DLC that incorporated them along with generous amounts of humour and charming new characters voiced by Lorne Lanning.
Alf’s Escape DLC takes place in a never-before-seen area of RuptureFarms, featuring new challenges and puzzles. Alf operates a bar located in the deepest depths of the RuptureFarms slaughterhouse that sells Soulstorm Brew to Sligs.
Abe realizes that he left Alf behind and goes back to save him. The plan is simple on paper. Sneak in, carefully traveling down to the deepest darkest part of RuptureFarms where no Mudokon dare walk, find Alf’s bar, and guide him out to safety.
Get in, get Alf, get out. But, if you’ve played New ‘N’ Tasty, you know getting out of RuptureFarms is not easy, and this time, with Alf in tow, it will be even more challenging.
To find out if Abe and Alf can escape, download Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty – Alf’s Escape DLC for free on the Nintendo eShop.
