About this tutorial

In this tutorial, we create an interactive horror-style main menu inside a TV screen using Unreal Engine 5.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build a 3D main menu that lives inside the game world
  • Display a UMG menu on a TV using a Widget Component
  • Interact with the menu using the Widget Interaction Component
  • Set up a possessed Pawn for mouse-based interaction
  • Add TV static noise effect for a horror atmosphere

This technique is ideal for horror games, cinematic menus, and immersive UI design where the menu feels like part of the environment.
