Download a copy of the horror engine. It’s free, and contains everything you’d need to make this sort of game

Looking back, I can say that I spent 5 months learning UE before I started creating more or less usable projects.
I think you should check out the tutorials on how to set up a first-person camera. To rotate the camera with the mouse, you need to study the Enhanced Input System. It’s not difficult at all. And in order for the enemy to chase the player, you need to add the Pawn Sensing Component and use the AI moveTo node for the On See Pawn event.

I do not advise you to use Horror Engine, because instead of trying to understand the UE design and programming yourself, you will have to understand someone else’s system, which, by the way, I really did not like.

Everything in the world is made by someone else.
The point is to study the available examples, to learn how pieces work, that you can then put together in a different way yourself.

SetShowMouseCursor true
SetMouseCursorWidget (create you own widget)
SetInput mode to GameAndUI

OnTick get cursorposition use this to determine if you want to move up, left etc
also get hitresultundercursor to check if there is an interactable object which would override movement.

that should get you started
