The character artwork is taken from the caricatures by J. J. Grandville.
The game was developed by Sketchy Logic, and partly 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.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Just an assistant, but he's capable of helping Jayjay solve some difficult crimes. He actually becomes a lawyer in 4A too.
Inspector Javert: A former one. He used to be more interested in capturing criminals than in justice, but experience taught him otherwise.
Dirty Coward: No need for bribery just threaten him. Followed by him mocking Falcon behind his back.
Plucky Comic Relief: Although he can play serious roles in the plot from time to time.
A successful and pompous public prosecutor. Seems to have a love of philosophy and a hobby of humiliating Falcon. The Atoner: Formerly an Amoral Attorney, he's now devoted to justice. Badass Bookworm: A peerless prosecutor, more than capable of holding his own in a fight, and can quote Voltaire from memory.
Honor Before Reason: He views helping Falcon arrest King Louie as this, but he can't help but go along with it out of guilt. He also refuses to shoot first on Falcon in 4A , despite believing him to be the Viridian Killer and being in a duel with the guy that he has no interest in being in.
Aviary Attorney is an Adventure Game about 19th-century Parisian lawyers…who happen to be birds. The game's art is based on the lithographs of 19th-century French artist J.J. Grandville, who was known for his caricatures of anthropomorphic animals. The soundtrack consists of music by Camille Saint-Saëns and some of his contemporaries ...
Developed by newly-formed British team Sketchy Logic, Aviary Attorney was funded by a 2014-15 Kickstarter campaign and released on Steam in December 2015. Advertisement:
Gameplay is similar to that of the Ace Attorney series: you guide defense attorney Jayjay Falcon and his assistant Sparrowson through investigations of crime scenes and conversations with witnesses, gathering evidence that you can use while cross-examining witnesses in a trial phase.
Bait-and-Switch Comment: Seigneur Purrtoir set out to hire the best lawyers in town to defend his daughter — but they weren't available at such short notice, so he hired Falcon and Sparrowson because "Aviary Attorney" was first in the directory.
The Viridian Killer is actually two people, Judge Romulus and Frère Remus, and they’re manipulating Beaumont to seize power for themselves. There’s also Dame Caterline Demiaou, who is actually the culprit of the first case. She and the Viridian Killers are the game’s only culprits.
Expy: Séverin Cocorico, the pompous rooster prosecutor and old acquaintance of Falcon's who enjoys belittling him, parallels Miles Edgeworth in several ways.
Juste Velorti is a clear analogue to Inspector Javert, being a justice-obsessed bird who doesn't distinguish "law" from "right" and is single-minded in his pursuit of rebels and the Viridian Killer.
