Aviary Attorney is a legal adventure inspired by the work of French draughtsman J. J. Grandville. The game was developed by Sketchy Logic studio.

The action takes place in Paris in 1848, but the vision of those times presented by the authors is far from what we know from history textbooks. In Aviary Attorney, the French capital is mainly inhabited by various hominoid animals. At the start of the campaign, the situation in the city is tense. A new revolution hangs in the air and local prisons are overcrowded. The game tells the story of two heroes - Falcon, a falcon lawyer named Jayjay Falcon and his helper, Sparrowson's sparrow. In the first of the four available cases, the duo will try to clear the bourgeois cat Caterline Demiaou, who was accused of murder. Her family is ready to pay a large sum to anyone who finds evidence of her innocence.
