Would you play this?

If the game is balanced so it's not too hard to do, I would probably.
It depends because it could be so many things.

It could be an Indie Game where you see everything from the sky, and walk around as this robot.
This would sooner or later just become a "Highscore" game. Get the highest solved cases without getting a game over.

Then there's the more developed game where people actually put time into solving the cases. Finding clues. Thinking about what could've happened. This game would be more about "being" the detective. Immersion, I mean.
