遊戲《返校》改編跨媒介作品的敘事差異之研究
Indiegame Detention differences of transmedia storytelling
摘要
獨立遊戲製作公司「赤燭」的作品《返校》（Detention），憑藉著優秀的遊戲體驗，獲得大眾的青睞與肯定，在商業取向的市場中取得亮眼的成績，並被改編為小說、電影及電視影集。本文以《返校》遊戲、電影及電視影集為研究對象，從「故事延展」（narrative expansions）和「媒介延展」（media expansions）兩個面向，針對三樣作品在劇情架構、故事內容、上的差異，對《返校》作品的跨媒介敘事（transmedia storytelling）進行研究。分析電影及電視影集的編劇團隊，如何通過不同的載體與表現形式，藉由影像創造出新的環境空間與敘事結構，以及如何依循不同的媒介和故事構想，掌握《返校》遊戲「致自由」的核心想法，對原始故事進行改編。最後在從《返校》跨媒介改編的案例，來看臺灣近年來原創劇本改編趨勢，以及跨媒介的敘事手法，能否讓作品能有更多詮釋的空間，和更豐富的觀點及視角。
