Gone Home and Dear Esther are classics of the genre, both worth playing if you haven't already.

I wouldn't say its exactly like this but if your looking for a atmospheric game with a good story and rich dialogue you should definitely play firewatch. Its one of my favorite games of all time

I think life is strange is worth playing as well. very good game

Vanishing of Ethan Carter is good.

Tons. Check out my profile, I maintain a list. 75+ titles.
The good news; there's a lot of great tiles.
The bad news; the heydays are behind us - firewatch, dear esther, painscreek killings, observer system redux... all the studios have stopped publishing. I won't go into the reasons because i'm going to upset someone... but the genre is good as dead in a world were narrative have to have a certain 'message' or risk never being published. no longer worth the ROI.

In 2017 , 15 new Walking Sims were created.

I track ALL the studios and currently three tiles are being actively worked on.

Enjoy what we have!

Ethan Carter is probably still the best.

The unfinished swan is made my the same people and is about where Milton went

@adidas hey, where can i find your list?

Similar "linear" story to discover what happened, with good suspense and a good story, and twists and stuff like that, try "The Suicide of Rachel Foster"; I really enjoyed it. Short but intense.

FireWatch is what are you seeking

I agree on the Ethan Carter recommendations. Very good game, a bit more interaction than Edith Finch. Dear Esther is ... OK-ish, but certainly in line with Edith Finch.
All of this: just my opinion. (I didn't like Edith Finch, at all)

"A story about my uncle" is pretty good.

Firewatch is not bad, but a bit underwhelming at the end. Ethan Carter is pretty good, as well as Draugen. Also Stray.

There is also Submerged and its sequel Submerged: Hidden Depths. They are pretty good too.
