Abstract

A method for advancing a game, executed by a computer (100) having a processor (10), a memory (11), and an operation unit (151), includes the following steps performed by the processor: causing an NPC (NPC) that is not directly manipulated by a user as a game player to act based on first action command data pre-stored in the memory for specifying the NPC's actions, and advancing a first part (story part) in response to input operations performed by the user via the operation unit (S1a); accepting a specific action performed by the user in the first part, and switching the game from the first part to a second part (real-time distribution part) based on the result of the specific action (S13a); and advancing the first part of the second part by causing the NPC to act based on second action command data distributed from external devices (200, 300), wherein the second action command data includes action data and sound data input by the operator associated with the NPC that is not directly manipulated by the user (S5a).
