'1954 Alcatraz is more mature and “American” than most of Daedalic’s work; the game explores and embraces the social diversity of San Francisco, as well as the brutal, fight-ridden despair of prison. It has its whimsical moments, but it definitely shows its film noir influences.'
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.
