Simulacra from one of the recent humble bundles fits under every genre you want.[horror/mystery and you get to do some detective work in a way] I was shocked how good the game was.

Detention is a really great psychological horror game. Kinda like the original Siilent Hill, the atmosphere and story are pretty much worth it. No cheap jumpscares, which is a win, but it has easy "puzzles", they don't screw the experience, but it's worth mentioning.

Games by Frictional Games studio. I played only Penumbra series, but their next games probably even better.

I love Frictional's games. I've played the Penumbra and Amnesia games. Each game is better than the last. SOMA is their best game yet, hell it's one of my top 10 games of all times. With Amnesia (and Penumbra), I could only play in short sessions of an hour or two before I had to take a break and calm my nerves. With SOMA though, even though, the story, the way it's told and the way you experience it, I didn't want to stop.
I'm currently playing STALKER for October/Halloween. It's technically not a horror game, but it's creepy AF. I bought it at release on disk, but the first patch for the game was incompatible with existing saves. I didn't want to start over, so I played unpatched. I got about 3/4 of the way through the game when I ran into a bug that caused the game to constantly crash and I couldn't go any farther. I didn't feel like starting over, and I just never got around to re-playing it.

Bad Dream Coma is just amazing.
Bucket Detective is for 2€/$, looks like it is similar to your detective ones.
Also a reminder for many people - sale lasts until Thursday, Friday HB Monthly reveal + new Monthly games announced. Try to keep your options to refund open until the monthly :)

You can never go wrong with some Dead Space.

I wouldnt call Downfall a good movie, but its a neat companion piece to a game that has no exposition.

Despite the fact it was given for free before, I thought Distraint was quite good (and short, but that is actually a plus in my book usually). The same developer did Silence of the Sleep, which was very atmospheric too. Both games are in this Fanatical bundle.
Towards the horror/mystery side, I am also really enjoying The Council, though it is episodic and it is not finished yet.

Haven't played Tormentum - Dark Sorrow yet. But I would like to.

Oh yes. I played Obscure the Aftermath on the psp, which is the port of the pc title named Obscure 2 or 3, i forgot, you can find all 3 on steam, i never finished it but i enjoyed it, its realy good horror. You should also try on armorgames.com a horror game called Breach. Could also always play the The Last Stand series on armorgames aswell, they would fit halloween.
