The short answer

After the shared opening introduces fear, photograph the frightened round visitor while keeping the aggressive square outside your frame. Continue focusing on fearful reactions instead of the whole confrontation.

Separate fear from the fight

Scared and Viral begin with similar characters, but ask the camera to tell different stories. The Scared branch concentrates on a fearful subject. A wide shot including both that subject and the aggressor can feed the broader conflict instead.

Use the early broadcast to establish that you have reached the shared opening, then narrow your attention. You are looking for the visibly frightened round character and later fearful reactions, not a randomly chosen round visitor.

Keep the frightened subject isolated

The base footage shows the park taking on the consequences of repeated fear coverage. Let reports complete so you can check whether the intended subject was accepted before taking the next photograph.

  1. Follow the normal opening until the frightened round visitor and agitated square are present.
  2. Wait until you can frame the frightened character without the aggressive square in the same shot.
  3. Photograph the frightened reaction, then continue following the fearful visitors as the branch develops.
  4. Avoid switching to full-crowd hostility, rescue scenes, or repeated TV photos. Wait for the Scared ending reveal.

Use the headline as a framing check

If the report centers an attack or a hostile group, check the edges of your previous frame. The wrong character may have been included even though your cursor was on the frightened one. Repositioning the whole photo area is more useful than clicking the same point repeatedly.

Do not interpret the route as a requirement to find every frightened visitor on screen. There is no verified universal photo count in this guide. Follow the sequence and the named result, then use a new run for the more destructive Viral branch.

Questions about this route

Why do I keep getting Viral instead?

You may be including the aggressor or photographing the broader hostility. Isolate the frightened subject and check each accepted report.

Does Scared need Early Access?

No. It is ending 06 in the base collection.
