I know it's been years, but this game rocks. I love it. The soundtrack is nice, the graphics look cool, it feels good to control, the tapes are honestly kinda intriguing and F U T U R E P I Z Z A
Thank you so much for being a fan! Means a whole lot to me that someone likes this game that much!
After all these years, this one still feels like the coolest game I’ve made solo. I knew so little about Unity at the time, and had to learn SO much to get it done. I’ve found that the better I get at making games, the harder it is to make and finish them.
Maybe a remake of this game is in order. Would be cool to expand on it in ways I couldn’t before, and improve on it too.

Hi, i ve just played take a survey and am about to play this aswell and i want to say that the horror games you make here seem really cool keep it up man!
Thanks for all the great feedback! Honestly, the mouse locking thing had a lot of difficult decisions behind it. I considered making it not lock when he’s behind a wall, which was easily implemented, but then the issue became: “How do I snap the player’s vision back to locked when it’s no longer behind a wall?” If it only became locked the moment you looked at it, then it would be too easy for the player to just not look at the monster and run to the elevator. So I designed the level in a way where the entire gimmick is that you have to walk backwards to the elevator. I had to make sure the path to it wasn’t too complex.
But at the end of the day, it was my first real 3d game. It has tons of other flaws, such as optimization issues and bugs, but I learned a ton through it, and through my mistakes. I’m glad you enjoyed it for what it is!
Thanks! I'm sorry to say I have not planned to update the game. I'm aware of many of the optimization issues, I've learned a lot more about making games with Unity since then. If I were to do anything relating to it at all, it would be remaking the game from the ground up lol.
Then in that case you have a modified version of Linux. This means that in order to play this game you either need to:
(a) Install a Virtual Machine and have it run Windows/Mac.
(b) Use a bunch of third-party programs that allow you to run Windows/Mac programs. Just Google, "how to install windows games on chromebook" and you'll find dozens of options.
(c) Beg the developer to create a version for Chrome OS.
Thanks for letting me know! I've seen this happen to a YouTuber as well, and I honestly have no clue what causes it. I don't really have any plans to update the game right now, but if I end up figuring out what causes this bug, I will definitely wrap it up with a few other fixes and update it.
Thanks for playing my game, along with all the other great jam games!
Funnily enough, the camera "bug" isn't a bug at all. In fact, the other people who have played my game encountered a bug that made it NOT happen! The TV has the power of hypnotism, so once it locks onto you, you cannot look away. The challenge is making sure you know how to get back to the elevator while being chased down.
As for the other issues, there are graphics options in the settings menu. The control issues you had are due to having the graphics options set too high, which causes lag and input stuttering. In the event that you set them in the main menu but they didn't work in game, they likely got reset upon loading the game, and you simply have to change them from within the game (this would be a bug I'm aware of, but cannot update due to the nature of the Game Jam). Other people have had a similar issue, some much worse than what you experienced.
Like you said at the start, it's my first attempt at horror, AND practically my first attempt at using Unity 3D. It was all a learning process, so I'm just surprised it turned out as decent as it did!

That sounds great! :)) of course, do it only if you feel like it. As always don't overwork or pressure yourself.
Also, if you don't mind, please release the chase music. it's pretty baller.

i cant find out what platform to download this on. more details are when i download it and check files it doesn't show where to click to play the game
1. Download the game for your platform (if you have Windows, download the PC version, if you have Mac OS X, download the Mac version).
2. (If you have a Mac, you can skip to step 3) Make sure you have WinRAR, 7-Zip, or a similar archive software installed.
3. Open up the .zip file.
4. Now either drag-and-drop or extract the folder inside anywhere you want.
5. Finally, run the .exe file called, "The Notzing Project (1.0)".
i have a dell chromebook

i got TermLinux
Hope it works for you.
i got termlinux
i need help, i am on a Dell laptop and i can't find out how to actually play this stuff. Can you guys help me?
Its a really great game. Just I have one question: can we access our save file(s) and if so where is it located?
The TV guy didn't even appear for me at the end.
I just flipped the last switch before pressing the button. After that I just walked straight to the lift.
Thanks for letting me know! I've seen this happen to a YouTuber as well, and I honestly have no clue what causes it. I don't really have any plans to update the game right now, but if I end up figuring out what causes this bug, I will definitely wrap it up with a few other fixes and update it.

Great game, I did a speedrun of it
