My group almost ran a supernatural mystery campaign starring middle-schoolers in Japan. Something between the Goonies and Higurashi. They were built on 50 points since we weren't as familiar with GURPS back then, and didn't realize you can stat most regular people with just Dabbler. The campaign fell through so we don't get to test them.

EDIT: As for "non genre", if I understood that right, we ran a short mystery/horror campaign in the New York jazz club scene of the 1930s. Although that had some mob/noir and occult elements, they were mostly implied and served as atmospheric flavor. It's by far our most "regular" campaign, and most characters were club performers and patrons.
