Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is composed of a number of episodes. In the first episode, an argument in Edgeworth's office results in a mysterious murder. Edgeworth, coming back from a one-month business trip, enters his office and encounters the body of the man who was shot. In the second episode, Edgeworth's plane journey takes a nasty turn when he wakes up after being knocked out during heavy turbulence. Shaken by the flashback of nightmarish past memories, he opens the onboard elevator's door to find a male corpse. At this very moment a cabin attendant witnesses the scene and Edgeworth is made a suspect of murder.

Gameplay
Like Capcom's Phoenix Wright games, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is designed around the point-and-click game mechanic, with the player taking on a series of cases placed before them. Playing as Miles Edgeworth, players get to the bottom of cases by collecting information and evidence through detective work between key locations. These locations must be physically explored, with players given the choice of either the DS stylus or the D-pad to to facilitate movement, and collect clues. Within the game's 'Logic' mode, which symbolizes Edgeworth's logical inferences, users can discover new information and evidence by combining clues discovered in the action portion of the game. Eventually, with the discovery of the right clues the real culprit will be revealed through these investigations and the confrontation of witnesses to expose contradictions in a 'battle' mechanism (Testimony - Pursuit - Press - Confront), which is similar to that of the 'Court Battle' in the Ace Attorney series (Testimony - Cross Examination).
