Well, I finished it and loved it. Pretty long game, much longer than the first one. I will replay it in the near future, if only to get a higher score than 700 and to find out

Spoiler:
what to do with that turtle

A couple of puzzles were too difficult for me. That tile puzzle on the beach, for instance. So many possibilities to arrange the tiles, I could not see the forest for the trees and I do feel that Kheops often makes it too hard to figure out the principle underlying their puzzles. But Kheops does make terrific games!

About the ending...

Spoiler:
Both endings are sad, one even more than the other. I've played several recent adventures this year without any rosy fairy tale endings, and I must say that I like this new trend of more mature realism, where the protagonist has to make a difficult choice. Of course there have always been lots of adventures with bad endings, but usually that means you've done something wrong and you're supposed to keep trying till you find the one and only Good Ending.
