UFO -A day in the life-（PlayStation）
📷 Master the camera and record evidence
The Cosmoscanner is your sole and essential tool for recording invisible passengers. Its viewfinder aims broadly up, down, left, and right; composition and target selection determine success. Understand the device to use limited film effectively.
UFO -A day in the life- — what should I check first in Using the Cosmoscanner camera?
Photography displays a frame whose aim moves across almost the whole screen. Align it with a suspected presence and keep the subject near the center to reduce misses. Use the broad field of view to check suspicious locations systematically.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Understand the system |
|
| Midgame | Search efficiently |
|
| Late game | Find missed targets |

1. You cannot find aliens
Cause: Appearance locations or conditions are unclear
Solution: Patrol room by room and keep a list of photographed and unphotographed targets
2. Photograph opportunities run out
Cause: Too many shots are guesses
Solution: Photograph reliable targets first and reduce wasted shots
3. One particular alien cannot be photographed
Cause: Its appearance requirements are unmet
Solution: Check time-of-day and event-progress conditions before targeting it

- ▸ The viewfinder covers a broad screen area
- ▸ Align the frame with a suspected presence
- ▸ Keep the target near the center to reduce misses
- ▸ Move the view to inspect suspicious points in sequence
Each visit has a shot limit. Using every frame forces a return to the mothership, making wasted photographs lost exploration opportunities. Conserve until a promising moment and release the shutter decisively to improve each visit's results.
- ▸ Shot capacity is limited
- ▸ Using all frames forces a return
- ▸ Conserve film until a convincing moment
- ▸ Aim to maximize results from each visit
Your stay in a time period is also limited; after enough time, the location or period switches. Excessive observation can miss photographic opportunities, so alternate focused watching and shooting. Narrow likely subject locations and budget both time and frames deliberately.
- ▸ Time in each period is limited
- ▸ Time expiry forces a scene change
- ▸ Distinguish observation and shooting phases
- ▸ Plan the allocation of both time and frames
