双重情节、场景嵌入、内在探索:解谜游戏的互动叙事模式

Dual Plots,Scene Embedment,and Internal Exploration:A Study of Narrative Models in Puzzle Games

在竞争饱和的解谜游戏市场,游戏剧情设计及其带来的产品差异化成为吸引新用户的方法之一。截至目前,前人对电子游戏剧情和故事的研究相对不足。为此,本文以玛丽-劳尔·瑞安的数字叙事理论为基本视角,以案例分析为主要方法,对解谜游戏的互动叙事模式进行了探究。研究发现,解谜游戏在故事层面是双重情节的复合叙事,在话语层面是专注场景的嵌入叙事,在互动层面是内在探索的互动叙事。因此,为创造游戏产品的差异性、独特性以吸引新用户,解谜游戏设计可以从游戏情节和游戏场景两方面入手。

In the competitive puzzle game market,game plot design and product differentiation have become one of the methods to attract new users.This paper uses Marie-Laure Ryan's digital narrative theory and case analysis to explore the interactive narrative mode of puzzle game.The study found that the puzzle game is a compound narrative of dual plots at the story level,an embedded narrative focusing on the scene at the discourse level,and an interactive narrative of internal exploration at the interactive level.Therefore,in order to create the difference and uniqueness of game products to attract new users,the design should start from two aspects:game plot and game scene.
