Call me old fashioned if you must, but when I'm playing an investigation game, I would prefer to get the information I need while actually doing the investigation, not during the preamble where I'm sitting and pressing A while characters just poorly conceived enough talk just long enough that the fact that they're catboy Sherlock Holmes or a steampunk child genius stops being charming and starts being a little annoying. The actual investigations and trials can be very fun, especially the jury examination and deduction response mechanics, but I wish it wasn't so irritating to get to them.
