    Abstract Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness received great attention when it was published and has been adapted into several copies, including the film Apocalypse Now in 1979, and the game Specs Ops; The Line in 2012. The story is Conrad's experiences in Congo in the 1990s, and was published as a novel in 1902.This novel has been heavily criticized for racism by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe. The novel turned into the story of Apocalypse Now, directed by Ford Coppola. It was then converted into the game of Far Cry 2 and then updated, renovated and launched under the name Specs Ops; The Line 2012.Given the differences in this story, we can think of how the story evolves from a negative study of post-colonial novels to active participation in morally ambiguous choices and battle crimes through digital video games. In order to create a new meaning and to highlight the post-life features of both the original work and the adapted work, this dissertation aims to compare the original work with its adaptations , which deal with the conflict between historical fact and fiction.
