Abstract
A game apparatus which can realize a totally new expression of a fear on a game image is provided. The game apparatus includes an image generating means that uses a visual point position of a player character as a visual point position of a virtual camera and generates an image within a visual range captured by the virtual camera, an enemy character control means that allows the enemy character to mount an attack such that the visual point position of the player character is changed and moves an enemy character within a specified range viewed from the visual point position changed due to the attack to the visual range of the player character viewed from the visual point position, and a camera work control means that changes a visual point position in a three-dimensional coordinate system of the virtual camera in conjunction with the attack motions.
