The Note (公開されなかった手記, Koukai Sarenakatta Shuki) is a first-person survival horror[1] adventure game developed by NK System and published by Team Bughouse in Japan and SunSoft in Europe for the Sony PlayStation.

It was released in Japan on January 17, 1997; and in Europe on October 1 of the same year.

Akira, a freelance occult journalist, is visited by a woman whose daughter left on a trip with her friends and never returned.

He agrees to look for the woman's daughter, and is given the last things the woman received from her, including a photo of an old run-down mansion somewhere in Europe, and what seem to be unearthly spirits.

Two weeks after this meeting, Akira and his partner Angela find themselves in a remote European village in front of the mansion shown in the photos, where the game begins.
