The Headliners

You and up to seven other journalists enter cities overrun by creatures, carrying cameras instead of conventional weapons. Your assignment is to capture newsworthy images and make it back alive. Explore streets and buildings, photograph monsters, destruction, military action, and teammates in danger. Each expedition is timed, so your crew must weigh searching for better shots against getting back to the helicopter. Photos earn money according to what they capture and how they are framed. Use your earnings to buy equipment, meet headline quotas, and advance through increasingly difficult expeditions; press cards are spent on each outing, and making headlines lets you earn more.

Play as journalists photographing monster attacks in a city under siege, then race back to the helicopter before time runs out.
