    Abstract: Before a game is provided, a state is established in which each of a server 2 and a user terminal 3 is capable of using common node definition data ND corresponding to the game. A plurality of nodes indicating a state of the game are defined in the node definition data ND. While the game is being played by a user, the user terminal 3 transitions the node on the basis of the node definition data of the user terminal 3, changes a value of terminal-side setting information, and records transition reproduction information capable of reproducing the transition of the node and the changed value of the terminal-side setting information as a log in log data. In addition, the user terminal 3 transmits transmission log data DL including the log to the server 2.
