I came across this sentence while playing Hatoful Boyfriend. At first I had
trouble with the `外見が鳥類では` part. Would I be correct in saying that the use of
では in 外見が鳥類では is an example of the **[ては
construction](http://japanesetest4you.com/flashcard/learn-
jlpt-n2-grammar-%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AF-tewa/)** , and if not could someone please
help me understand the grammar behind it?

question
grammar meaning
Need help understanding a sentence I came across. Possible ては
This では is the te-form of the copula だ, followed by the topic marker は. So
it's essentially the same では in simple sentences like 私は子供 **では** ない.
Literally, ～では is "when it's ～, ..." or "if it's ～, ...".

  * 外見が鳥類では脳内再生が困難だ  
if the appearance (of the characters) is (that of) avian species, doing 脳内再生
is difficult

  * 外見が鳥類では脳内再生が困難(だ)という方  
those who have difficulty in doing 脳内再生 when the characters' appearance is
that of avian species

  * 外見が鳥類では脳内再生が困難(だ)という方の為に  
for those who have difficulty in doing 脳内再生 with characters that have an avian
appearance

  * はーとふる彼氏では｛外見が鳥類では脳内再生が困難という方の為に｝、登場人物紹介に擬人化版のカットインも御用意しました。  
In Hatoful Boyfriend, we have also prepared "anthropomorphized" versions of
the cut-ins of the characters for those who have difficulty in doing 脳内再生 with
characters that have an avian appearance.

Each character in the game is assigned a virtual seiyu, so 脳内再生 here seems to
refer to imagining the characters' sweet voice without actually hearing it.
