I made this game in 30 hours, using Unreal Engine and its blueprint system. My main focus of this project was to learn how to add more controls to the character (e.g. crouching and running) and how to set up guard AI to shoot at the player; I didn't want to just take these off of the marketplace, I wanted to learn how to do it myself.
Some specific things I learned: I learned about animation blueprints, how to coordinate between the guard's BP and its anim BP, blend spaces, and assigning animations to skeletons. I lightly covered branch trees, black boards, and tasks when tackling the guard's AI. I learned how to add a health bar to the HUD, and more generally how to communicate between blueprints.
Most of the assets/objects are pre-made by Unreal, while the rest I got for free from Unreal's marketplace:
