What triggers the Follow the Money ending

The ending triggers when the park stops watching the news and starts watching the newsroom. The chain begins with the man in the suit and the money bag, and it ends with the station paying for the panic it manufactured.

This is a storyline route rather than a mood route. You are not trying to make the park happy or afraid. You are trying to keep one investigation moving forward.

What to photograph

The suited square with sunglasses and a money bag, then each new piece of the investigation. Early in the run he can appear near the cricket area. Keep the lens on the suit, the bag, and the station connection instead of the crowd's reactions.

Step-by-step route

  1. Find the figure in the suit with sunglasses and a money bag.
  2. Photograph him and follow the investigation headlines: Who paid the screamer?, Man in suit spotted, The money is real, Suit linked to station.
  3. Keep the story on the money trail through Photographer, you're fired and The station pays for all of it.
  4. Continue photographing the newsroom crowd until the Follow the Money ending card appears.

Common mistakes

Losing the suit in the crowd breaks the chain. If you cannot find him, wait near the edge of the crowd rather than photographing random figures. A unrelated subject can pull the broadcast away from the investigation.

How to confirm the ending

The card reads Follow the Money Ending, ending 12 of 12, with the tagline "the park stopped watching the news and started watching the newsroom". The I paid for EVERY scream. broadcast is the darkest confirmation of the route.

Headlines to watch for

These are the on-screen captions that tell you the route is on track. If the TV stops using them, the run has moved to another story.

  • Who paid the screamer?
  • I paid for EVERY scream.
  • The station pays for all of it
