You defintely have 2 instances in your scene.

That would not only be my first guess, but the output indicates that as well. It prints the minus once and throws, the second instance is the one you showed in the inspector.

Do one of the following:

1. Debug.Log(gameObject.name) in that script
2. Use the scene hierarchy’s search field and type “t:GameManager”. It’ll highlight all the objects that have such script attached to it.

Kind of - almost. When I hit the post reply button, you had already figured it out. 😛
