You in "Say Cheese!": The Panic Machine Sent by Big Media

You're a journalist, and your employer is "Big Media"—a giant with an appetite big enough to swallow billions of pairs of eyes. Its KPI is brutally simple: keep everyone glued to the news, no matter the cost. And what's that "cost"? It's the peaceful park you've been dropped into.

Why does Big Media want panic?

Because panic = traffic, traffic = attention, attention = everything. So your job description, translated into plain human, reads: go into the park, stir up chaos, spread panic, and scare everyone so badly they won't dare change the channel. The problem? The park was a calm little society to begin with—and your job is to tear it apart with your own hands. Your employer's agenda and the park's well-being are on a head-on collision.

That TV in the park

Shocking! A mysterious man in a black hat and mustache suddenly appears in the park. Is he here for a walk, or is he here to hand out flyers?

Your moral crossroads

Imagine this scene: You're holding a camera, and your ruthless boss kicks you straight into a utopian, peaceful park. His exact words: "Go! Use that lens of yours and make their brains spark!"

So now you're standing at a crossroads of fate—on your left, the "KPI-Skyrocketing Destruction Gift Package" your boss promised; on your right, the "Love and Peace Redemption Voucher" the park residents are longing for. That's right—your ultimate mission as a journalist is to use the most professional photography skills to carry out the most unethical "demolition" job. Rewrite fate or just do your job? It all depends on whether there's a heart behind the fingertip that presses the shutter!
