Abstract
A video game processing apparatus is provided for controlling progress of a video game while displaying a player character on a display screen.

A first operational input to the set player character operation area is received, and an action of the player character is controlled on a basis of the first operational input. A second operational input to the set viewpoint operation area is received, and a viewpoint or a position of a virtual camera is controlled in response to the second operational input. The player character operation area is an operation area through which the player character is operated by a slide operation.
