bendy and the ink machine chapter 2 coffin room

The Projectionist returns in Chapter 4 regardless if Henry killed him in Chapter 3 or not, once again as an enemy trying to kill Henry, roaming the flooded maintenance department of Bendy Hall. Killing the Projectionist will unlock the 'Norman's Fate' achievement. If Henry hits the Projectionist many times with a pipe without being caught or killed, the Projectionist's light will go out and it will fall over dead. The Projectionist can also be killed if the player chooses, but it is very difficult. However, the maze can be completed by not being seen. If seen, the Projectionist will chase down and attempt to kill Henry. Henry must navigate through a small wooden maze where the Projectionist is sulking, avoiding getting into his projection beam and being seen. Later, he is encountered patrolling level 14, where Henry must enter to collect inky hearts for Alice. He wanders away, then shuts the door behind him. Norman, now corrupted and turned into the Projectionist, is seen on level 11 walking around.

His recordings give hint to one of the puzzles in the level. Henry can listen to audio logs from Norman throughout the level, including the one he made discussing Drew and Lawrence's behaviors.

Boris can also enter the Projectionist's special level by touching the heart in his safehouse. When Boris defeats him, Norman can be encountered in normal levels. Although his speed is equal to that of Ink Bendy, The Projectionist is easier to escape, as he can see Boris only when he is in front of his face. In that levels, the Projectionist lurks around instead of Ink Bendy. While Boris is searching around the dark studio, he can sometimes enter areas covered in lots of ink. It is currently unknown why he became trapped in the studio, but at some point after his imprisonment, Norman was corrupted by the ink from the Ink Machine and turned into the humanoid monster that is known as the Projectionist.

Over time, Polk began to notice strange behaviors from Joey Drew and Sammy Lawrence, but did not concern himself too much with them. Norman Polk was one of the projectionists at Joey Drew Studios, mainly keeping to himself and working in the dark, behind the scenes jobs.
