Good job on the review. While I do agree that the gameplay can be too random in terms of the cards you draw both from the emergency deck and the investigations, I still find the game to be quite enjoyable because like you said, the theme is very strong with this one.
Just found the first edition of this at a used bookstore and have played it four times already. It can be a bit fiddely but it's a ton of fun.
