Not a bad game. I really liked the characters. Lots of interesting dialogues. The voice acting was pretty good. The game itself is generally normal, although sometimes there were some glitches and inconsistencies. A few times the game froze, but luckily I saved often. The plot was excellent. I'd say it's worth a try, so go for it if you like point-and-click games.

Let's go to Mexico. In 1954 Alcatraz, you play as Joe, a robber convict in the infamous prison and as Christine, his wife also a robber but roaming around in the city of San Francisco. Both characters are playable for most of the game, each one with a specific big objective. Joe needs to find a way to escape while Christine needs to find the hidden loot of Joe's last robbery. Some puzzles also require passing information between them, as some characters will be present in both worlds. The difficulty is well balanced, there's not a single puzzle that felt unfair or had moon logic, at least for what is expected of this genre. Visually, the backgrounds are a delight. The city featuring typical locales like cafes, clubs and chinese restaurants are varied enough, each hosting an interesting cast of characters. Christine will have to deal with her exboyfriend, her poetry friends, etc. Joe, on the other hand has a rival who wants to fight with him constantly, an old inmate and friend, and a prison guard who will give you tons of tasks to do around. The worst offender in here are the 3d character models, expect medium to low quality characters, moving weirdly through the backgrounds and clipping through objects. Joe in particular might sometimes go through the closed jail door like the T-1000. Some points in the history are very tense, with people murdering the characters you know, and are played in a very serious fashion, but having these robotic, lifeless models tend to make the game a little dumb and dissonant. The voice work is quite good and the hotspot names are quite creative. You will get a fun, not generic description for most interactive objects onscreen. Fortunately, there's also the highlight all interactables key to avoid the dreaded pixel hunting. The main plot and exposition promises a cool story, but unfortunately after a couple of hours of doing minor jobs and tasks, you get to the rushed finale. I was under the impression that the game would have some cool twists, but the climax will be over before you know it. Lastly, the music is acceptable, but they abused of the main song. After listening to it in the club, and the fact that it has lyrics, makes it boring very quickly. Lots of locations will have a variation or remix of this slow jazz tune. Now the worst, the game has notoriously broken achievements. In the way that they either work, or they don't at all. People resort to a number of shenanigans and fiddle configurations until they miracously work. Switching to window mode, running as admin, using compatibilty mode, everything is par for the game. The devs never fixed this and it can be maddening having to replay sections to see if they work. Only get on huge discount.

First playthrough review time. The art in this game is very detailed and looks nice. The music is very good and makes the world feel more alive, and the character voices sound real. You follow two different people as they deal with things like trust and escaping, which is a big part of the story. I have used the name Alcatraz in a few other multiplayer games before. The gameplay involves talking to characters and looking around to find the way forward. The choices made by both characters can change how the story ends, so there is a reason to see different outcomes. The main characters are written to handle many tough situations on their own. In conclusion, the game is a good choice if you like a story with deep characters. The art and the music are put together well, making everything feel real. Even though some parts are serious, the way the game is built is still good. It is a standalone game that is easy to jump into, even if you have not played this type of game before.

There's some drama around 1954's Alcatraz Prison that used to be active cruel prison back then. A simple story about a prisoner who wants to escape and tied back together with his wife.

A nice little game. Unfortunately, it ends far too quickly and is too short overall. They could have done more with it. I think the German and English voice acting is well done. Nice graphics... Steam achievements can be unlocked if you play the game in English (audio) in compatibility mode for "Windows Vista Service Pack 2"... as administrator and in windowed mode...
