There's not a whole lot of puzzle/problem solving to be done since the contradictions are pretty easy to spot and you could argue the trials are a bit of trial and error with the questioning. The dialogue is hilarious though and you'll certainly remember the visuals.

I thought this was going to be insufferable, but it's actually pretty funny, and the mysteries are decent enough. Give it a shot!

I had a finch defend me on my arson charges and now they won't let me leave this cell

Two Ace Attorney-like games in one month! I liked this one a bit more than Murder by Numbers. It’s tight, hilarious and doesn’t drag at all!

The concept of this game is funnier than actually playing it. Still, funny birb man solve crime haha.

The influence this game takes from Ace Attorney is as blatant as it could be, and at first I was surprised by how well this game stacks up to the legendary source material. The dialog is witty and the art is amazing, but the cracks start to show when you reach the end of the game. Ace Attorney games have a proven formula for solid endings, setting up an emotional through-line in each of its cases which build up to an emotional finish. Aviary Attorney goes a different way, sneaking in little mysteries about the past which set the stage for an explosive finale. It’s not a bad strategy, but Ace Attorney lets you get attached to its characters for fifteen hours before the emotional punch, Aviary only gives you three. You hardly have time to get invested or understand those clues before everything you know is being upended and twists cause the plot to fly off the rails. If a twist happens before players have a good grip on the setting or characters, it doesn’t create the exciting sense of shock it’s supposed to, just a sense of confusion. For all its clever dialog and amazing visuals, a story can’t be recommended if it’s the textbook definition of a letdown.

local birdmen solve crimes unless they don't and if they don't they are rewarded with dumpy endings
