Shivers and the first Safecracker from 1998 (made by a different company than the 2006 Safecracker) would probably be closest.
Other similar games would be

7th Guest
Aura
Jewels of the Oracle
Jewels 2 (Gems of Darkness)
Schizm 2 (aka Mysterious Journey 2)
Sentinel (aka Realms of Illusion)
Azada (the first one -- not the "Ancient Magic" one)

The Jewels games will probably have to be played in Windows 95 or 98. At one point Dreamcatcher "updated" Jewels of the Oracle to work in XP by removing the transitional cut scenes. Jewels 2 was never "updated." If you don't have an older computer with Windows 95 or 98, you may want to try the games in Virtual PC.

At one point there was an XP patch for 7th Guest. There are some tips on getting 7th Guest running at Vogons
