Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is a interactive visual novel game developed by High Voltage Software and published by Capcom. Based around the cartoon of the same name, it puts players in the role of the titular Harvey Birdman who defends various clients in the courtroom. It was released exclusively in North America, with no Japanese or European release. This is presumably due to the game being based around an American Adult Swim cartoon.

It is considered a spiritual spin-off of the Ace Attorney series, having been built around the Ace Attorney gameplay engine. It also incorporates a similar story structure of five cases, which progress from investigations, to the courtroom. Furthermore, the first case follows a similar idea of only having a courtroom segment.

Gameplay
The game is built on the Ace Attorney series's engine, incorporating the same game-play mechanics.

During investigation segments, the player must investigate various locations. They have four options, which are like in the Ace Attorney games: Talk, move, examine, and present.

In the courtroom, players must cross-examine witness testimonies, by moving between statements. They are given the opinion to press the witness for further information on a given statement, or to present evidence that contradicts the testimony. Pressing a statement can yield updated testimonies. Also the same as the Ace Attorney games is the penalty system. The player is allowed five mistakes before they fail and are given a guilty verdict.
