When compared to the depiction of external actions, modern computer games have developed very limited means of conveying game characters' inner activities. In this paper, we focus on different narrative perspectives and the ways in which they enable us to express a wider range of characters' inner worlds. We also present our on-going project Remembrance which uses a system of shifting external environments to reflect the character's inner world.
