How does Ace Attorney differ from Aviary Attorney?

There is also a big difference in approach: Ace Attorney has a linear story, where each trial must be won or it’s Game Over, and as a consequence the game will not let you start the trial without all the evidence you need to progress. In contrast, Aviary Attorney ‘s position is that the story must go on, whether you win or lose the trial; victory is not the only way. This is emphasized in the first trial, where a twist makes you question the victory and your courtroom tactics. In subsequent trials, the game’s approach is to limit the time you have to gather evidence: most locations you need to visit will take up one day of your time, and you have, say, 10 days before the trial. The number of locations can be large, some clues or conversations only unlock if you’ve done something else instead, and some locations turn out to be a waste of time; this means, in my experience, that it takes luck to get it right on the first try. If you have an Ace Attorney play style, you will be frustrated at the game for leaving you so little time (or wasting it) and making you enter trials when you’re not ready; if you have a more relaxed play style, you might appreciate the fact that, contrary to Ace Attorney, you will never get stuck on a particular deduction or leap of intuition you can’t figure out. This approach can take some fun out of the courtroom scenes, because at any moment you can get stuck because of choices you made 20 minutes ago. Fortunately, should you still have the compulsion to solve it all, the game makes it very easy to go back to a previous point in the game; the investigations are separated in “days”, and you can go back to any day you want. (Let’s also mention here that, while the game tells you you can save any time, this is not true; loading always takes you back to the beginning of the day.)

Is Aviary Attorney worth playing?

Aviary Attorney is a very good addition to the genre, worth checking out even if you do have never played Ace Attorney, as the excellent writing, humor, and presentation makes it worth it – if you’re willing to adapt to its gameplay choices and its short length.

What is Falcon's letter to the aviary attorney?

Falcon shows up late to the Aviary Attorney office and receives a letter from Seigneur Purrtoir Demiaou asking for legal help for his daughter, Dame Caterline, wrongly accused of murder. Your assistant, Sparrowson, asks if you'll be taking the case. If you respond "Of course!" you will proceed to La Conciergerie, the prison where Caterline Demiaou is being held. If you choose "Nope" Sparrowson will challenge you to a game of Jacques-noir (Blackjack) where you try to get closer to 21 when drawing cards than the dealer. Sparrowson will always win, and you'll head over to La Conciergerie anyway.

Is the music in Ace Attorney quieter?

While the music in Ace Attorney is practically a part of the game (even telling you when you did well!), the music in Aviary Attorney seems to be quieter, making you focus more on the story. It's still effective and I really enjoyed the soundtrack, but I don' t know much about music either so I'll end this section here.

Is Aviary Attorney fun?

Rather than the simple (by comparison) investigations system in Ace Attorney, Aviary Attorney has fun with it. They add a time limit. You have to think much harder about which locations you want to go to as you could lose time from them. It reminds me of Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, a board game where you just look in locations to deduce where you should look next and solve the mystery. Aviary Attorney doesn't throw you in the deep end as much as that, but it still works and it's not too difficult. If Ace Attorney makes you feel like a lawyer, then Aviary Attorney makes you feel like a detective. It's a shining light in a genre saturated (using the big words now) by hidden object games (the mystery genre, not the lawyer genre).

Is Aviary Attorney a good game?

Rather than simply copying the system, it takes what it likes about the Ace Attorney series and tries to impprove upon it. None of the bugs I've encountered (just the one saving bug) have been game-breaking and if you enjoy the Ace Attorney series, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this game.
