Another Mind (video game)

Another Mind (アナザー・マインド, Anazā Maindo) is an adventure game created by Square for the PlayStation and released on November 12, 1998, in Japan.

The player represents "another mind" residing in the head of the main protagonist, and can only control the game through speaking to the girl.

The player does this by constructing their own sentences out of context-sensitive parts of speech provided by the game, rather than selecting from pre-made options.
