Let me explain what's going on.
In every episode, one player takes the lead role as a private/police investigator, one player is the director and everyone else roleplays the "cast". The director and the cast write a skeleton-plot for the episode together in a hidden thread (The detective should not read it unless he wants to ruin the experience for himself). It is the director's job to keep things together... and also provide extra Narration when needed. (for instance, when the detective does something the cast did not expect so there is need to quickly improvise.)
The detective has some roleplaying limitations when they are in important areas. The director always inform the detective when he enters such locations. There, the detective (uhh... sorry for using this word so much...) may not "create" the environment around him (for instance, he can't say there is a book on the Table containing some very important clue). Instead, the director or the cast characters describe whats around to... "Interact" with.
There may be some RPG elements involved (like stats for the investigator (cunning, Strenght, Aim, and whatnot), but only if the players find it useful).
Now, While I hope this will become a series, The investigator and the cast wouldn't need to be the same. Perhaps we may even change the location and the setting... Also, an episode may have a bad ending... like the detective drinks too much and gets hit by a bus.
