I think it fits: The Vanishing of Ethan Carter in which you play as a detective who tries to find the titular Ethan, finding bits and pieces of what happened before with a strong hint of the supernatural.
The gameplay is mostly puzzle based and atmospheric in nature lacking depth (no multiple choices or stuff to do other than solve the mysteries) but I really liked it. The game is short - Steam claims I've finished it in about 6 hours, so I'll take its word for it, I reckon it could be finished in less, probably 4-5 if you try to be more organised (and don't get stuck as much). I think I'd like more games that do the same - focus on one case to solve.
There is another game that, from what I've heard, does something you might be after: Murdered: Soul Suspect. I've not played it or otherwise checked how good it is, so I can't talk about quality, but it might interest you.
