Hi Gordon,
I would recommend the following. My first recommendation is not loaded with hidden object scenes and it's quite creepy. The only real caveat is that a sequel is planned, so the ending isn't really a true ending. There is also a fair amount of backtracking, but that's pretty much the standard with hidden object puzzle adventure games.
True Fear: Forsaken Souls Collector's Edition There is a standard version of the game as well.
Another good one would be:
Fright Collector's Edition It's on the shorter side, but it's a fun ride while it lasts and uses live actors. It's also quite creepy. Again, not loaded with hidden object scenes and the ones it has are a bit more interesting.
There is a standard version of the game as well.
If I think of other games that pretty much meet your criteria, I will post again.
