Overall, a game that I enjoyed, but if I could give it a "mixed" or sideways thumb review I would. I've added my full review below, with either + or - indicating the weight of positive or negative traits. +++ Very amusing, good writing, with a sense of humour. A fun read. So many puns. +++ Great graphics and music, very nice to look at and listen to. + In chapter 1 and 2, choices actually do seem to have consequences. But often the choice has no real logic or way to identify what the "correct" choice is. There's never multiple correct-ish choices, it's always right/wrong. So you're kind of just guessing and then either reloading or you lose resources if you're wrong. Chapter 3 is the only chapter with 3 branching paths, with chapter 4 being an epilogue story chapter. Overall I did feel like I had agency here, even if it was a bit limited. +/- Here's my big beef / drama with this game. Ignore this completely if you don't care about artwork history. I'm going to refer to both musicians and illustrators as "artists" and "artworks" for brevity. The graphics and music are actually just straight rips from public domain old artists. The game itself doesn't really credit the artists at all, except very briefly in the closing credits and the store page. They're briefly mentioned as "inspired by". I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand - it's wonderful work, and suits the theme perfectly, and it is public domain after all. On the other hand - the artworks are not original. Like if you Google "J. J. Grandville" you will literally see the exact character designs online. In fact, here is the main character I found online from a museum [url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/813037]here - the original caption in French being "This old court apparently has an old falcon..." It makes me wonder how much of this game is actually "made" and how much is just essentially public domain asset rips? What makes me even more suspicious is people already flipping these prints online for over $200 without credit. I feel like I would accept this more if the character profile list functioned as an art gallery. Actually display each character in full with the caption, and credit given to the original artist. Also the fact that they're reselling a 100+ year old music composition as a deluxe edition OST feels... off. It's possible that they got an orchestra or custom performance of the music but I somehow doubt it. You can see the full original collection by the original artist [url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search?q=59.500.592&searchField=AccessionNum&offset=0&sortBy=Date&showOnly=withImage]here in case you would like to see more. - Missing major visual novel industry-standard QOL features. See previous text, fast text display, skip previously seen text, hide UI to appreciate the art, multiple save files, spacebar/enter to proceed, the list goes on. You can basically only click to proceed the text and select options with the mouse. -- The actual game window / client is horrible. It's very glitchy, and feels exactly like playing a browser based flash game from the early 2000's. Like if you resize the window you can see the other menus hiding just off screen, and the character's feet which are not normally displayed from the original artwork cutouts. You have to carefully resize the window so that the UI displays properly, otherwise text will runn off screen by default. It was playable for me, but annoying. -- Only 4 hours actual playtime to complete an "ending" - I didn't have the motivation to hunt down the other endings but I'd imagine you're looking at a total of 7-10 hours playtime. -- It's quite expensive for what it is.

Ace Attorney but you're a bird is a reasonable starting description of this game, but it is not a fair one. This game is, by and large, more artistically ambitious than anything Ace Attorney has ever done, and I say that as someone who truly loves those games. One of the more obvious ways it does this is in the literal art, drawing, with little exception, its art assets from the works of J.J. Grandville, a French caricaturist who died almost a hundred years before the first electric computer was ever invented. This limits the sprites considerably, but leads to a unique sort of flexibility born of understanding- how much can you do, when your artwork was created by a dead man who never dreamed of the concept of a video game? You make allowances. You coax out a cohesive vision through an artists various works, grab hold of the connective tissue that existed in the context of their original creation and rebirth them anew. The music as well- compositions of works by Camille Saint-Saëns, were ordained before a single keystroke of coding was made for this game, before its developers were ever born. None of that is to discredit the artistry put into taking such things to make them into this, nor the skill displayed in the writing and design of the game itself. The game sets itself in the days before the February Revolution, and does not shy away from the fallibility of the justice system- addressing systemic injustices in ways its inspiration does not by drawing on a real political moment, and placing you, somewhat, on the side of the oppressor. You are not a bad man, or bird, you fight with integrity for fairness and justice. But you fight within the confines of a system that has torn people to shreds, starved them and spit on their corpses. The gears of procedure are non inoculations against petty injustice, they are often perpetrators of it. It is not a world ruled by a strict sense of absurdist rationality, like Ace Attorney, here there is a jury, and their feelings are the final decider on matters, regardless of what facts you ultimately present. The game adapts to this as well, as I understand it, though I did not lose a case. I do wish it was a bit longer, and while there are other endings to explore, I feel I performed the way I hoped to, and am uncertain about returning to see what would happen were I worse at my job. I might rate it a bit pricey at full cost, but it is a good game, and a worthwhile play.

while it was a short game that i finished in about 6- 7 hours (including all possible endings), it was packed with a great storyline and well written characters. i'm so glad i played it :) love the reference to ace attorney too!

Baby's first court room game but the writing and atmosphere are quite charming and frankly topical. lol 2nd ending was such a funbit of drama to witness, the game was worth it for that alone. :)

Set in an alternate-history 1840s Paris populated entirely by talking animals, Aviary Attorney is a charming, offbeat visual novel that blends classic detective gameplay with sharp wit and a stunning art style. Drawing heavy inspiration from the Ace Attorney series, this indie gem carves out its own identity with a unique tone and a feather-light touch of absurdity. You play as Jayjay Falcon, a somewhat bumbling yet noble bird lawyer, accompanied by his quick-witted sidekick Sparrowson. Each case unfolds with a mix of exploration, dialogue, and deduction, as you collect evidence across the city, interview suspects, and ultimately argue your case in court. While the mechanics aren’t overly complex, the heart of the game lies in its narrative and characters. What Stands Out: -Art & Aesthetic: The game’s visual style is lifted directly from 19th-century caricaturist J.J. Grandville, giving it an elegant, surreal atmosphere. Coupled with classical French music, the presentation is both beautiful and immersive. -Writing & Humor: Witty, playful, and often laugh-out-loud funny. The game manages to be silly without ever feeling dumb, peppering its script with clever wordplay and surprisingly poignant moments. -Story & Themes: Beneath the surface whimsy lies a surprisingly thoughtful story that touches on revolution, class struggle, and moral ambiguity. Multiple endings add replay value and depth. Shortcomings: -Bugs & Polish: At launch, the game had a few technical issues and a rushed final act. While most of that has been patched or forgiven, the pacing toward the end still feels abrupt. -Simplicity: Puzzle-solving and court arguments are fairly easy compared to other games in the genre. Some players might find the lack of challenge a letdown. Aviary Attorney is a witty, stylish, and endearingly odd adventure that fans of narrative games shouldn't miss. It’s not the most mechanically deep experience, but its personality and presentation more than make up for it. Whether you're a courtroom drama lover, a fan of French history, or just someone who enjoys talking birds in powdered wigs, Aviary Attorney delivers a delightful, if slightly uneven, experience. An avian twist on courtroom drama that soars on charm and creativity. Rating: 9/10
