I've been banging my head looking for the name of an old game. I'm pretty sure it was a pc game.
It's about an alien stranded far from home probably looking for a way back. he can sing tunes and disable his enemies. I specificaly remember that a special move is that he can fart. He is saving his imprisoned people all along the game by singing tunes to free them. the song is something like the buddhist Ommmm Ommm Ommm Ommmm
All and all, the character is not aggressive (no guns or punches) and acts by distance. It's much more about smarts and escaping the enemies. The enemies have guns and they can shoot the fellow. he's rather thin looking and mostly non threatening except for his telekinetic powers.
