Abstract [en]

This thesis compares the different concepts of game narrative and traditional narrative, and aims to explore and analyze the relationship between visual elements and game narrative in video games. Game narrative is an emerging narrative based on digital media. It can not only include stories from traditional narratives, but also convey narratives through the virtual environment and mechanisms of games. This thesis discusses the concepts of traditional narrative and game narrative from the basic concepts of narrative, and lists different visual narrative elements and video games of different narrative types on this basis. In addition, this thesis designs a study that includes different dimensions of immersion to investigate the impact of narratives conveyed through visual elements on player immersion.
