Abstract

With the rapid development of science and technology, high-tech means are increasingly applied to games, which has also brought about the increasingly serious problem of homogenization of game products. Many games are removed from the shelves due to lack of features or practical significance, or similar games are misunderstood as harmful to the next generation. Therefore, a good game should be both interesting and rich in connotation.Scarlet Cageis such a computer narrative indie game. It has its own unique theme and significance, and reshapes its value on the basis of breaking stereotypes.
