The short answer
Hold your frame on a visitor until they pose and say cheese, then photograph that response. Repeat the posing sequence three times and follow the remaining survivor through the final shot and ending reveal.
Give the subject time to pose
The namesake ending begins as a camera interaction. Holding the frame on a person can make them respond to being photographed. Clicking too early may produce an ordinary portrait rather than advancing the intended sequence.
This is a separate numbered ending from Reverse. Both can involve camera-aware visitors, so use the chapter at 31:46 and the final card as your references.
Follow the posing sequence to its conclusion
The recorded branch becomes much darker than its initial smile suggests. Do not stop after the first cheerful response: the sequence continues to a final remaining subject.
- Start a fresh run and hold the viewfinder on a park visitor long enough for the posing response.
- Take the photograph when that subject says cheese rather than clicking immediately.
- Repeat the prompted posing-and-photo sequence three times, checking the broadcast between shots.
- Follow the remaining survivor and take the final relevant photo shown in the walkthrough.
- Allow the conclusion to finish and confirm Say Cheese Ending.
The title is not a promise of a happy finish
A smiling portrait does not make this the Good route. The base footage shows the consequences continuing after the early camera interaction. Use the rescue-and-kindness branch if you are specifically trying to collect Good.
If an ordinary news report keeps replacing the posing response, give the subject more time and remove competing visitors from the frame. Count successful responses instead of clicks made during an animation. If a crowd starts turning directly toward the photographer, compare against the Reverse guide before continuing.
Questions about this route
Is Say Cheese the Good Ending?
No. Say Cheese is ending 11; Good is ending 07 and follows a different branch.
Why should I wait before taking the portrait?
The intended sequence relies on the subject responding to the camera. An immediate click may produce a normal photo instead.
