1954: Alcatraz
1954: Alcatraz – The cash is out there. But who will get it? Joe's doing 40 years on Alcatraz for a heist on an armored truck. The loot is still hidden out there, but only Joe knows where it is. In the streets of San Francisco, Joe's ex-accomplices and his wife are eager to find the stolen money. Who will get their hands on the dough? In this interactive Point & Click adventure by Daedalic Entertainment and Irresponsible Games – the team of Gene Mocsy – Joe and his wife Christine will be playable characters. Players will decide between love, treachery, life and death: will Christine assist Joe during his prison break? Will they recover the fortune together? Or will they succumb to greed? Will Christine deceive her husband, taking revenge for all the disappointments and a marriage that brought her nothing but hardship? Will she just turn her back on Joe and hit the road with his former accomplices? Or will Joe gain everything in the end?

A perfect little story for 3-4 hours of gameplay, where you must break out of Alcatraz in 1954 with the help of your wife, the story is so heart-warming and funny, don't be shy to be it, it;s worth it. 8/10

I love it! ♥ Is this a crime? Get me to Alcatraz then!
I enjoyed it over all, the duo rules well in this one, would this have been only about the guy in the prison wouldn't be that interesting in my view, it gives interesting perspective on the story.
Love hand drawn backgrounds.

1954 Alcatraz is a point-and-click adventure set in the gritty streets of 1950s San Francisco, with a focus on crime and suspense. Players control two characters, Joe and Christine, who must navigate betrayal, greed, and survival. The game offers a noir-style aesthetic with over 60 hand-drawn backdrops, alongside a jazz-infused soundtrack that enhances its atmosphere.
Though its plot has multiple outcomes depending on player choices, some puzzles and dialogue may feel dated. The game is from 2014. However, the unique setting and immersive narrative are definite highlights. The hand-drawn environments and jazz soundtrack set the mood, while the characters themselves are likable and fit seamlessly into the narrative, enhancing the emotional impact of the story.
You will want to play this game as a real point & click enthusiast.

Almost 6hr to experienced fully, I somewhat enjoyed it. It has nice atmosphere, challenging puzzles, and enjoyable voice acting. The game also presents tough choices to make that gives you different endings. However, the control and UI are janky. This is a minus to my enjoyment. I'd recommend this, preferably at a discount.

I dont play a whole lot of point and click games and when i do i generally end up not liking them but this one i actually loved. I'll fully admit i chose it cause its Alcatraz. I'm a fan of all things alcatraz and at the time of playing this ... back in 2019... i was planning a trip to visit Alcatraz so this game was just perfect for that time . The stories around it have always had me very curious so i had to see what this one was gonna do story wise . When i think back to some of the greatest short games ive played and completed this one always comes to mind first. It's 100% a favorite of mine and the Dev's did an amazing job with it. Highly recommend it with or without a sale.
Overall Rating : 10/10

The story's interesting and the voice acting is good, but the UI and controls are so clunky that it kind of spoils the game as a whole. Some of the puzzles are a bit weird, like they haven't been thought out properly. The game also crashed twice, and a couple of bugs meant I had to reload a save.
However, I enjoyed it, and I'd certainly recommend.. at a discount. It's around 6-10 hours.

At first i thought this would be a free roam game and not a Point and Click game. I like both and this game is really cool. I got stuck at one time and needed a hint but i got through it pretty well apart from that. The voice overs are pretty nice and the story and the whole setting really cool too. Another great Point and Click from Deadalic. The greatest problem with this game is that most of the achievements are locked. Still a really cool game. I can really highly recommend it
