About The Oddworld Library

The Oddworld Library is a comprehensive source of all things Oddworld. Run by Xavier De Coster and Wil Bunce-Edwards, it hosts all kinds of media like images, websites, videos, developer diaries and interviews and also a number of articles about the games, their developers, the fandom and the lore. Despite it's name, it also covers other topics, mostly non-Oddworld projects by Oddworld Inhabitants and Lorne Lanning, such as Citizen Siege or Xmobb.

More about the website can be read in it's respective article.
