So that a "town" is actually a collection of mini-towns (levels)? I dunno, i'd want to keep it open. It would probably start off with small towns and rural areas, populations of a few thousand but by the game's end reaching cities of millions or even multiple states. Such as a car chase from California to Mexico or a serial killer who travels the world ala Hannibal.
Basically, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego meets free-roam and Shenmue style gameplay with an emphasis on the full gambit of investigation in a CSI style. You could meet up with a forensic pathologist at one point who becomes a partner, then find a criminal psychologist, etc slowly building your team and becoming an independent investigator and bounty hunter. Maybe you started out as FBI but one particular case finds a criminal within the FBI that causes your departure. I dunno, there's lots you can do.
