Alcatraz: Prison Escape is an action / stealth video game.[1] It was developed by Zombie Inc. and published by Activision Value for Microsoft Windows in November 2001.[2]
The name of the title was kept under wraps until late in the development cycle, causing the programming team to create a makeshift Alcatraz level by inserting fog horns, seagulls and a crudely drawn Golden Gate Bridge.[3]
Gameplay
The game is played from a first-person perspective. Players control a falsely accused person as he attempts to escape five different types of prisons in order to prove his innocence in the outside world. Players have to sneak past guards in order to make it through every prison level. If seen, an alarm is rung that forces players to hide temporarily.[3]
