With the development of digital media, interactive word games have gradually become a new narrative form. As a representative interactive reading platform in China, his works show different characteristics from traditional literature in narrative mode. This paper takes Yi Ciyuan word game as the research object, through case analysis and text analysis, to explore the changes of its narrative mode and its causes. The study found that Yi Ciyuan word games rely on interactive mechanisms and multi-media expressions to form multi-branch structures, immersive perspectives, and dialogic language features, which enhance readers ' sense of participation and substitution. At the same time, this narrative change is closely related to platform technology, user needs and media environment. However, in the actual development, there are still problems such as insufficient depth of interaction and homogenization of content, which need to be further optimized. The research of this paper is helpful to understand the change of Chinese narrative mode under the background of digital media.
