Line 63:
** Similarly, the Ansem Reports in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] game, by the same people.
*** [[Kingdom Hearts]]: [[Birth By Sleep]] is also a Mind Screwdriver, filling most of the holes left by its predecessors.....of course, only to set up plot elements that evolve into an even ''bigger'' [[Mind Screw]] in the ''next'' entry of the series, [[Kingdom Hearts 3D]].
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 4'' managed to clear up the plot of ''MGS2'', at the price of creating a truly spectacular [[Continuity Lock Out]] and [[Doing inIn the Wizard]].
** Speaking of MGS2, the game was going to contain a Mind Screwdriver of its own in the form of Psycho Mantis' mask as an unlockable. It was going to let you hear the thoughts of other characters during cutscenes/codec calls, and those thoughts were supposedly going to give you a major clue to what was really going on in the game's plot. But alas, [[Executive Meddling|the game was rushed for the holidays]], so it didn't get implemented.
* ''[[The Umbrella Chronicles]]'' is a retelling of several games in the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series which attempts to fill in the plot holes the previous games left behind. (''Resident Evil: Code Veronica'' featured a video, on a bonus disc, which tried to do the same; "The Wesker Report" was subsequently made obsolete when the next games retconned the story in a different way.)
Line 72:
* Trilby's Notes, of the [[Chzo Mythos]],ended with the title character being saved by an unknown man in red. The identity of this man was not revealed until the ending of the next game, and it was a mind screw. It also explains how the man was able to revive Trilby.
** The Special Edition versions of the games (especially 6 Days) provide a few other Screwdrivers as well, most notably {{spoiler|why Chzo was interested in the [[Failure Is the Only Option]] [[Plan]] at all.}}
* ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' is the screwdriver for the ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' series up to that point, explaining what happened at the end of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Brotherhood]]'' as well as revealing more about {{spoiler|the first civilization}}. Of course, there are still mysteries to be solved by ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''...
* ''Hand in [[Killer7]]'' was ''supposed'' to be this, but because it was made before the game was finished, some of the material in it wasn't used in the game. So, while reading Hand in Killer7 makes sense of some of the plot, it makes the rest of it [[Mind Screw|even more mind screwy]].
