We. the Revolution
Adventure
March 21, 2019
Inspired by a popular game Papers, Please, this is an unusual mix of genres by the Polish studio Polyslash. We. The Revolution is set in the 18th-century Paris during the French Revolution. The player takes the role of a judge in the Revolutionary Tribunal, who judges both revolutionists and their enemies, as well as criminals and ordinary citizens. After accepting a particular case, you have to look through files and evidence, interview the people involved, and finally state the verdict – either just or one serving your interests. During the game you get to make lots of decisions that affect not only the course of the protagonist’s career or the fate of his family and friends, but also the balance of political power in the capital of France. As the game progresses, the character that you control also gains more and more influence, which allows him, for example, to participate in various conspiracies, or even start a struggle for power.

A legal adventure game inspired by the works of J.J. Grandville, a French caricaturist. It was developed by the independent studio Sketchy Logic Games.

It tells the story of two characters: a falcon lawyer named Jayjay Falcon and his assistant, a sparrow by the name of Sparrowson, who try to clear their clients of charges during subsequent trials. As far as gameplay mechanics are concerned, Aviary Attorney draws a lot of inspiration from the Ace Attorney series for Nintendo consoles. Each case is therefore divided into two parts: first, questioning witnesses and gathering evidence, and then using the acquired knowledge in the court. The game’s visuals are based on 19th-century illustrations and works of Grandville himself – they were scanned and supplemented with numerous animations.
