** This game has nothing to do with the first ''VideoGame/{{Alundra}}'', except for sharing the same music composer.
** More than that, in the original game Alundra is the main character. In the second game, that character, that scenario, that world, and everything like it is completely absent. Even the company that produced it was entirely different.

* LighterAndSofter: The first Alundra was a very dark and serious game where a good amount of the cast dies by dreaming; this game fells like a SaturdayMorningCartoon, being more colorful, humorous and overall more lighhearted than the original. The death counts are far fewer, [[spoiler:with only the BigBad being shown dying]], and animals turned into monstrosities beyond belief are shown to be easily recovering.

* GettingEatenIsHarmless: The protagonists are swallowed alive by a once-docile, [[MonsterWhale now monstrous]] cyborg whale, all unscathed. While exploring, Flint finds many people who were also gulped up long ago by the enormous cetacean.

The heroes return the sea beast to normal, escaping via the blowhole in the end, but these stranded sailors are not shown. Its implied they remain, trapped forever inside the whale.
