Daedalic Entertainment has just released a handful of new screens for their noir point & click adventure, 1954: Alcatraz.

The game, which is being developed by Irresponsible Games, is heading to PC and Mac sometime in early 2014. Players will follow the story of Joe, a prisoner at the infamous prison eager to escape 'The Rock'. Here's a few plot details:

Set in the vice-ridden Golden Gate City of the fifties, 1954 Alcatraz tells the story of Joe, a man serving a long stretch in the notorious prison for armed assault. Eager to escape ‘The Rock' and claim the hidden spoils from the heist, he soon realises his only chance to breakout is with the help of his wife Christine.

Facing death threats from the couple's partner in crime Mickey if she doesn't come up with the missing loot, Christine has problems of her own. But where is the cash? Only Joe knows; yet every crook, scam artist and chancer from North Beach is now looking for it. The race is on!
