In the context of the convergence of culture and technology, digital games have emerged as a pivotal medium in the digital transformation of the cultural heritage field. They play a critical role in excavating, reproducing, and reconstructing heritage knowledge. This paper utilizes literature review and case study methodologies to unveil how digital games are an innovative nexus, integrating ancient heritage stories with modern technology. It proposes a novel interdisciplinary design concept of Cultural Heritage combined with a Scripted Game. The study focuses on the rich cultural heritage of Hong Kong's Lei Yue Mun as a core case, undertaking the digital scripted game design practice. It aims to restore and reconstruct the cultural essence and extant situation of Lei Yue Mun's heritage, exploring new perspectives and opportunities to transmit and transform cultural heritage in the digital era. This also creates a unique for digitizing heritage into a living stage of development and favorable circumstances.
