Aviary Attorney is an adventure game in the style of the Ace Attorney series. The game was developed by Sketchy Logic, and part financed through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, raising £18,917 towards its development in January 2015. It was released for Microsoft Windows and OS X in December 2015.[1]
The game is set in a 1840s Paris inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, and the player takes the role of Jayjay Falcon, a defense lawyer who must prove his clients not guilty through investigation and interrogation of witnesses. The game makes use of public domain works, the character artwork is taken from the caricatures by J. J. Grandville, and its soundtrack includes the music of Camille Saint-Saëns.[1][2]
Critical reception was generally positive, generating a score of 77/100 on reviews aggregation website Metacritic,[3] Eurogamer recommended the game, highlighting the characters as "written with poise and wit, making for laugh-out-loud moments and genuinely exciting revelations". USGamer in their 3.5/5 review, described the artwork and the music as the "perfect accompaniment", but felt the game did not reach the same heights as the Ace Attorney series.[4][5]
