塔克拉琨干 敦煌傳奇

荒漠裡步步危機 神秘中處處奇蹟

敦煌是古代東西文明交流的重鎮,也是絲路上

閃耀的明珠。從北魏到盛唐,中土與西域的王

公貴人:絡驛不絕的商旅:鬼斧神工的匠人:

千里跋涉的僧侶,共同寫下了敦煌燦爛的歷史。

本片光碟取材於北魏時代流傳至今,位於敦煌

附近的民間傳說—觀音井,這些傳說迄今已歷

時千年,每當黃昏時刻,遙望敦煌西北方的塔

克拉瑪干沙漠(塔克拉瑪干乃維吾爾語“紙進不

出〞之意),從滾滾的黄沙裡依舊可以感受到

一股對死亡和未來的恐懼:同樣地,流連在洞

窗的彩塑壁畫之間,觀音井的故事也會令人產

生如真似幻的跨時空感受。本光碟全片運用3D

虛擬實境的技術,加以陰陽五行的觀念,以第

一人稱遊戲方式,設計出一系列令人嘆為觀止

的敦煌洞穴與益智遊戲。這些遊戲與過關的密

碼,都是參考古代敦煌的資料,而發想出來的

。故而在每一個遊戲的背後,都可以找到特殊

的解謎之道。
