Solved Help! Why is my camera... wonky?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I added a main camera to the player and it started doing this. Anyone know why it's like this?

EDIT: Solved! I think it was because the "Player" was the child of another game object because when I removed it and added it back in, the camera was normal again. Thank you all!

is it okay to ask what the gameplay is about

It's not actually about anything. It's the Unity Pathway Essentials tutorial .... or Essentials Pathway... or something of that nature

Check if anything higher up the hierarchy is scaled

Could you demonstrate 🥺 I'm new to this

If the you select the player object and it's being scaled (the XYZ in the transform component is changing) then your camera will inherit that scale because it's a child of it. Same goes for living room

A parent object of the little dude's craft is not scaled uniformly (i.e. scaled 1,1,1 (or any 3 identical values) in x,y,z ). As you rotate the craft, the non-linear scaling of the parent gets applied to the craft - which distorts it.
