Boredom without end

For a true adventure fan is "1954: Alcatraz" just as disappointing as for adventure beginners. At no point in coming to power. None of the characters you can identify quite and it is simply a matter if something happens to them in such pale, lifeless figures over the thread of action. One feels no empathy, but also no gloating. Puzzles are not rudimentary and even not "tricky". Collected is everything that is not nailed down, while clicking through the dialog options with the other characters. The scenes and characters are virtually interchangeable. Each Popeye comic is entertaining.

Placed Really it works then that apparently is half the game world of gays, lesbians and transvestites. As would be with Christine befriended, gay poet couple that you have to bring together again, only to see it in the next scene while kissing or two men lying in a park along the bushes or one of Joe's fellow prisoners on Alcatraz that as a woman disguised occurs. Can there still be an example? A shady policeman suggests talking to Christine that all police officers would be a lesbian. Has all this something to do with the plot? No. Someone the idea was probably great to integrate such things obsessively in the game. Furthermore quite inflationary vulgar expressions are used in some places.

The playing time falls with approximately 6 hours of rather short and the alternative ends consist of nothing more than a few dialogue options. It follows no appreciable end sequence. Instead, you end up rather abruptly with a still image, which is traversed by the credits.

The graphics are a joke in terms of system requirements. Cartoon-like 3D figures with higher requirements not begin to measure the 2.5D graphics of much older (Horror) Adventures "Black Mirror" (2005). From newer titles ["The Book of Unwritten Tales" (2009), "The Dark Eye: Memoria" (2013)] quite apart.

Conclusion: A total letdown.
