First-person horror template
Your hands are in frame, the building is dark, and the light is a resource. Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Frictional Games, 2010) spends the oil. Outlast (Red Barrels, 2013) spends the battery. If the lamp never dies, the dark is a texture. The AI first-person game maker is the camera. The AI horror game maker is why you would turn the camera off.

What makes a first-person horror
First-person horror: horror seen through your own eyes, often with little or no way to fight.
The games that set the standard are Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Frictional Games, 2010), Outlast (Red Barrels, 2013) and Phasmophobia (Kinetic Games, 2020).
What the template starts with
The first-person horror template starts with one dark building, a light source and one threat. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: explore in the dark, hear something, run or hide.
What to change first
Walk the building once with infinite light and once with a lamp that fails. Only the second pass is this template. A monster added to the infinite-light pass is a tour.
2D or 3D
The first-person horror template starts in 3D.
