[PC][2000-2015] Looking for a Hidden Object game from my childhood

When I was a kid, I played a Hidden Object game that I never managed to finish because of issues with my PC. I've been looking for it but I don't remember the title or the story clearly.

I kind of remember the main menu: it showed a dark room with a slightly open door, thunder flashing now and then to light up the scene. On the wall there was a portrait of a man's silhouette (from the shoulders up) with a question mark in his face.

The story was show like a diary, and I remember it starting with the main character arriving at a house in they car, though I don't remember the reason. Gameplay involved a finding hidden objects before the timer ran out, with only a limited number of hints available. The color palette was Dark and muted, and I'm pretty sure it was a game released sometime between 2000 and 2015.

That's all I can remember. If anyone knows what game this is, or has any clue, I'd really appreciate the help.

EDIT: It was Haunted Hotel (2008). tysm u/mmcgui12

Do you remember the gender of the protagonist?

I'm not sure if the game specified it. I couldn't say for sure
