DHGF: Adventure games are always interesting, because they are much more versatile when it comes to where the game is set. I mean, it’s hard to imagine a first-person shooter that takes place in 1950′s San Francisco. While I’m sure there are some people out there who wouldn’t mind blowing the heads off a few Beatnicks, I don’t see it as having any mass appeal. Still, when you think about, the setting seems perfect for a game. The struggle of one man to escape Alcatraz while his wife dodges the mob on shore seems like it could be a fantastic movie/book/TV show. Yet here it is in an adventure game. That’s just nifty.
ENE3: "In 2012 he was made a lot of noise because of Kickstarter be resurrecting the genre of the game point'n'click adventure - the style of play in which the logic and history take precedence over the action, and the challenge is to combine the objects found throughout the game in order to deal with situations and overcome obstacles."
SteamFirst: “1954: Alcatraz” is a Point and Click adventure taking place in San Francisco of the 50′s. Joe was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment due to an armed robbery and he is eager to break out of “The Rock” to help his wife Christine who is facing her own problems in San Francisco.
Daedalic Entertainment are continuing to prove themselves as one of the biggest names in point and click adventure games with the recent release of 1954 Alcatraz – a game that tasks players with choosing between love, treachery, life and death.
