The short answer

For reliable ending attempts, check everything inside the viewfinder, wait for the television to finish each report, and choose one route per fresh run. The accepted broadcast tells you more than the number of times you clicked.

The cursor is not the whole photograph

A frightened visitor can be your intended target while an aggressive square still occupies the edge of the viewfinder. A TV photo can include a nearby person. An empty-grass shot can be interrupted by a walker. These are composition problems, not necessarily broken route conditions.

Before clicking, scan all four corners of the frame. If the scene contains two plausible subjects, wait for them to separate. The Scared route is a particularly useful example because isolating fear from the aggressor changes what the news can emphasize.

Treat the broadcast as a receipt

After taking a photograph, wait for its report and check what the TV actually selected. If it accepted a hat portrait when you wanted an empty scene, do not continue counting that shot as progress toward Breaking News.

Rapid clicking can hide this feedback and make a guide feel inconsistent. Each accepted report is a checkpoint: identify the subject, watch the park response, then decide whether the next subject belongs to your chosen route.

  1. Choose one ending before starting the run.
  2. Frame the intended subject without a competing event.
  3. Take one photograph and wait for the report.
  4. Compare the report and park response with the guide.
  5. Continue only when the sequence still matches your objective.

Use events instead of stopwatch timings

A video link at 34:24 takes you to a moment in someone else’s recording. It does not mean the suited man always appears 34 minutes into your run. Accepted photos, pauses, and replay pacing affect where a scene falls on the timeline.

For Follow the Money, watch the payment. For Hat, watch the late hat-focused opportunity. For the namesake Say Cheese route, wait for the posing response. Those events are more useful than copying the creator’s elapsed seconds.

Know when a fresh run helps

If you have missed a short event or the last accepted report belongs to another route, restart with a clear objective. This is especially helpful for the opening Cricket interaction and Off Air, where an exploratory photo can change the attempt immediately.

Questions about this route

Why did my photo lead to the wrong ending?

Check for competing subjects, a missed event, or extra photos after a branch point. Compare the last accepted report with the source chapter.

Do the video timestamps work as in-game timers?

No. They locate moments in each recording. Use the scene and broadcast as your route cues.
