Would you play this?

I would play it.

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.

I would hope to see more immersion in this type of game than a high score game.
A Robot detectives life would be really nifty or even a detective who controls a remote controlled robot. It would open opportunities for crazy plot twists, hackers, and all kinds of nifty stuff.
