The present invention provides a program executed in a game device. The program causes a controller to execute: moving a plurality of operated characters in a virtual three-dimensional space in accordance with operation signals output from a plurality of operation units; deciding a moving direction of a field-of-view range; setting a screen end of a display screen of a game image on the opposite side of the moving direction of the field-of-view range; generating, if a first operated character, which is at least one operated character in the plurality of operated characters, is located at a predetermined point outside the screen end, an operation event for receiving a specific operation from an operation unit operating the first operated character; and moving, if the specific operation is received when the operation event is generated, at least a second operated character in the plurality of operated characters toward a position of the first operated character. The second operated character is an operated character closest to a screen end of the game image in the moving direction of the field-of-view range.
