Another Mind is an adventure game created by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) for Sony PlayStation and released in November 12, 1998 in Japan. The game is extremely obscure, having been released in the wake of Square's other titles Xenogears and Parasite Eve, and it remains unreleased in the rest of the world.

Story and gameplay:
A 16 year-old girl named Hitomi Hayama is involved in a car accident and admitted to a hospital. Upon waking, she realizes that another being, albeit a mind, has taken residence in her head. The player takes on the role on this separate consciousness.

The game features an interactive system reminiscent of text-based adventure games that is called simply Dialog System with which the player can communicate with Hitomi. It consists of context-sensitive parts of phrases selectable via menus that can be put together to create a complete phrases. The player can change the course of the story or their relationship with Hitomi depending on the answers given, and multiple endings are possible.

Instead of using CGI or anime, real actors are used in the game's cutscenes and full motion videos. Characters' emotions are conveyed through animated emoticons.

CHARACTERS:
* Hitomi Hayama: A 16 year-old highschool girl, she's the game's main character. After a car accident, she suddenly starts hearing a voice from another person (which is the player).
