What triggers the Good ending
The Good ending triggers when the park stays kind after the station loses its audience. The key beat is Square saves lovers: a square-headed figure steps in to rescue a pair of lovers. That moment has to make it onto the news.
After the rescue, kindness has to keep winning. Photograph help, generosity, and friendly contact, and refuse the boss when he asks for conflict. If the park reaches total hate, the run can no longer end here.
What to photograph
The rescue first, then everyday kindness: a figure holding a door, sharing a bench, waving, or complimenting someone. The camera should never show a fight after the rescue. The station may go off air, which is a good sign, not a failure.
Step-by-step route
- Allow the early park scene to play out until Square saves lovers appears. Photograph that rescue.
- From then on, photograph only kind moments: helping, sharing, greeting, and comforting.
- When the boss asks for fights or admits to manufacturing conflict, refuse and keep filming kindness.
- When the screen prompts you to take the last photo, take it. The Good ending card follows.
Common mistakes
The biggest mistake is pushing the hate chain too far before the rescue. If the park reaches Everyone hates everyone, the kindness route is already gone. Restart and keep the early conflict small.
The second mistake is treating We're off air as a failure. The station going dark is part of the Good route. Keep photographing the park's kindness until the last-photo prompt appears.
How to confirm the ending
The card reads Good Ending, ending 7 of 12, with the tagline "the station went dark and the park stayed kind". The THANK YOU PARK imagery and the heart-shaped screens are the visual confirmation.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as kindness in the Good ending?
Any friendly, helpful, or affectionate interaction between park figures. Holding a door, sharing a bench, waving, and comforting someone all work. Fighting and fear do not.
Can I photograph one fight and still get Good?
Sometimes, if the run has not reached total hate and you return to kindness before the TV settles on the conflict. The safe approach is to avoid fights entirely after Square saves lovers.
Why did my Good run turn into Viral?
You likely photographed too much conflict after the rescue, or missed the Square saves lovers beat. Once the broadcast reaches Everyone hates everyone, the Good ending is no longer available in that run.
