"Murder Mystery Game" comes into being at the historic moment when the form and content of drama are changing with each passing day.From game acting at the very beginning to the comprehensive art integrating game,drama and literature in the relatively mature stage,the acceptance level and acceptance degree of "Murder Mystery Game" in the Chinese market has been increasing,which is a remarkable cultural phenomenon,which requires in-depth study of the narrative fabric of "Murder Mystery Game",so as to interpret its communication mechanism at the same time.Provide practical suggestions for realistic innovation and future development.As a noumenon research,the narrative study of "Murder Mystery Game" must be carried out in the context of the evolution of drama,of which dramatic narratology is the theoretical reference system.In the aspect of narrative subject,it includes the source narrative,potential narrator,apparent narrator and image narrator,which correspond to the script writer,player,DM and props in "Murder Mystery Game" respectively.The script writer uses the creation mechanism of "breaking,gluing and regrouping" to process the complete story in fragments,present fragmented information to the players,drive them to enter the logical reasoning link,integrate the plot,restore the situation and get pleasure.The player is responsible for improvising rather than rehearsing,picking up clues by selectively bumping ideas,and thus becoming the dominant force driving the plot;DM is the absolute subject of "Murder Mystery Game" narrative.Due to its mastery of rules,rich experience and special status,DM can organize "test book" for secondary creation.However,its tasks of guiding,prompting and assisting players run through the whole process,affecting the final direction of narrative.Props create the basic context in which the story occurs and progresses.The "sense of reality" created by props is the internal support for other narrative subjects to carry out their actions and indirectly complete the narrative function.In terms of narrative characteristics,there are three main characteristics:(1)immersion.By means of typified game sets,costume modeling suitable for characters,multiple use of lights,music and props,we create physical immersion in real time and space,and then sublimate the internal recessive situation to psychological immersion.(2)Sense of participation.By constructing multiple roles of players to create multiple identities,and presenting the story content from multiple perspectives,the "decentralized" effect,"fragmented" narrative and "puzzle" experience are formed to strengthen the sense of participation of players;(3)Sense of improvisation.The setting of the "quest book" gives the player a second chance to create,profoundly influences the pace of the narrative,the weight of the task and the direction of the story,and more importantly,enables the interaction of the characters,affirming the game nature of the "script kill" and its social function.In terms of narrative skills,combined with specific case interpretation,there are three main characteristics:(1)interactivity.The "Fine points" setting of the "Fine Points" of the "Diary of the Sick Jiao Boy" determines the multiple perspectives of the player’s investigation,which can be quickly replaced by the character,and effectively extend the interactive process through the game resumption,aftereffect implantation and other ways.(2)interventionality."The Dead Wake Up from the Phantom of the Night" uses the "mystery" technique to guide the players to abandon the fixed thinking,constantly overturn,constantly recover,and the setting of "AB" makes the story overthrowing and redoing become normal,players have been involved in the state;(3)Mobility.As a result of the theme of Anti-Japanese War,the players are faced with a variety of choices and choices such as "camp selection and confrontation","event simulation and restoration",which not only shapes the openness of the ending and the ambiguity of the theme,but also drives the awakening of the players’ feelings and transforms the dramatic action into real action.In a word,"Murder Mystery Game" is different from ordinary dramas and games because of its characteristics in narrative subject,narrative features and narrative skills.It has become a product of The Times with both entertainment and art,which also makes it play an important role in psychological therapy and social activities.Although it still suffers from the defects of overindulgence and over-imitation,However,the active implementation of relevant measures such as setting grading standards,strengthening market supervision and exploring artistic integration will surely find its own position in the new era,transforming from a popular cultural phenomenon into an important carrier of national cultural confidence.
