Irresponsible Games’ adventure 1954 Alcatraz will be escaping confinement from its island prison March 11th for PC and Mac. Daedalic Entertainment adds it will have full English and German localisation.
We decide the fates of Joe and Christine, with Joe serving hard time for armed robbery and Christine left to deal with the mob wanting their slice of the money pie. It’s set in 1950’s San Francisco.
Our choices alter the course of the story as the adventure unfolds, and so whether the two reunite or one runs with the cash is left to us. It’s coming to Steam and GOG.com March 11th.
1954: Alcatraz offers all what makes a great adventure: challenging puzzles, a mature crime story with a dynamic plot and various possible outcomes, and a whole bunch of shady characters: brutal felons, making life on The Rock even harder for Joe, while outside not only his partners-in-crime but also snoops and cops are after the money and Christine. The cinematic San Francisco of the 1950s, caught in a gritty comic style is a harsh place. But it’s also a place where 1954: Alcatraz can also pay homage to history and zeitgeist, in form of the Beatnik culture and other contemporary themes.
