"Turnabout Butz Buddy"
In this installment, we meet gay defense lawyer Phoenix Wright who is defending his gay boyfriend Larry Butz in a murder trial.

Luckily for him, the same people who created the gameplay tutorial in Kingdom Hearts are there to walk him -- and us -- through this very complicated trial. Will Phoenix be able to get his boyfriend off? Read and find out! More »

But he doesn't actually find the truth. Instead, he finds an idiotic plot twist that very nearly ends up with men in white coats coming to take me away. More »
