While not the most interactive of adventures, Aviary Attorney takes a successful visual novel formula and builds on it in significant ways, all while managing to be sincerely funny and charming.

While Aviary Attorney may not be the most original piece of media on the surface, deep down it is easily one of the most enjoyable games of the year so far. The game itself is a compliment to the assets it uses. Maybe there are a few cringe worthy puns here or there, but ultimately I think this game is worthwhile to anyone who gets a chance to play it.

Funny, sweet and charming is the detective humoresque with two birds in the roles of the snoopers. The new adventure perfectly resembles the life in the 19th century and will address all lovers of an unobtrusive humor, history and slower pace of the game.

Beautiful presentation, sharp writing, a delightful musical score and challenging gameplay all add up to making Aviary Attorney one of the most pleasant indie gaming surprises of the year.

Birds as investigators? Caricatures of the romantic era as the art design choice? Aviary Attorney is a gem. An interactive graphic novel with style, humor and its own take on Phoenix Wright.

What game has style? The obvious answer is Aviary Attorney. The art in the game is based on the works of J. J. Grandville and looks stunning. The actual gameplay closely resembles that of the Ace Attorney series, so most of the time you will be solving light puzzles and reading funny conversations. And watching animals act like humans. Aviary Attorney is a very enjoyable game, but I would have hoped for some more content. It just ends too quickly and doesn't offer much of a challenge at all. [Apr 2016]

Aviary Attorney may not make any new fans in the legal investigation genre, but those who already like that sort of game should be well pleased with Sketchy Logic's debut.

Aviary Attorney could’ve quite easily been a birdbrained game built solely to ruffled some of Capcom’s feathers. However it quickly becomes clear that JayJay and friends have more than enough smarts to even outwit Capcom’s much loved attorney at some turns.

Ace Attorney, dressed in feathers, revolutionary times and sweet humor. Objection? Considering the price – none. [Issue # 261]

More rich quail rather than plump-breasted pheasant, but still a rare and satisfying bird.

A visual novel sipped through a Gilliam straw.

Aviary Attorney might look like nothing more than a silly riff on Ace Attorney, but thankfully, there's a lot more to it than that. The era-appropriate illustrations and music set the perfect atmosphere, while the short cases with multiple endings provide a great incentive to jump back in and shoot for happier resolutions. Aviary Attorney doesn't quite hit the heights of Capcom's own series, but it's still a fine way to kill an afternoon.

It's a crazy graphic adventure about two birds working as lawyers in the '800 Paris, and there's some charm in that, but the storytelling is really too rushed to leave something behind.

The illustrations by J.J. Grandville make Aviary Attorney a unique game, especially as it is supported by the music of Camille Saint-Saens. Is it perfect? Not really, cause the game is way too short, simple and easy.

I desperately wanted to love Aviary Attorney. After all, it was doing so many things that seemed totally fantastic. One, it was gathering inspiration from the Ace Attorney series and two it was creating a marvelous-looking anthropomorphic animal-filled version of France. Somehow, though, it didn’t come together as expected.
