1. About the faq

This is a game script for psx game The Note. Like many other games in these
days The Note can be played in different ways, which of course gives
different scenarios. The scenario in this script is the one that lets Akira
and Angela save all three of the children, the happiest one I guess you could
call it.

3. Short background story

Three American teenagers from an occult club visits a small village in
Europe. When they disappear the mother to one of them calls the journalists
Akira and Angela, who starts looking for them. The mother had received some
photos of eerie creatures in a mansion outside the village, so the quest
starts when Akira and Angela enters it.

4. The game script

Scene 1: The mansion’s entrance

Akira: It’s so quiet.
Angela: Yeah. No sign of anyone around. It doesn’t look like anyone has
lived here for a long time.
Akira: The building looks pretty old, too.
Angela: Do you think the kids were rally here?
Akira: If Linda sent photos of the place they must have been. But whether
they’re still around or not is a different matter.
Angela: I can’t get those photos of the spirits out of my head.
Akira: Me neither.
Angela: Well, let’s take a look around and see what we can find.

Scene 2: Meeting Meda

Meda: Oh my, how unusual to see visitors. What brings you here?
Akira: I’m looking for some people.
Meda: I see.
Akira: These children, actually. Have you seen them?
Meda: Yes…I’ve seen them.
Akira: Really? I’d appreciate any information you can give me about them.
Meda: Hmm… I don’t mind telling you, but could you look for something for me
too?
Akira: Look for something?
Meda: It’s about this size. A small red stone… You’ll know it if you see it.
If you find that stone for me, I’ll tell you what I know about the children.
Akira: Alright.
Meda: I’ll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow. Don’t forget.
(leaves)
Angela: What an unpleasant person.
Akira: Yes, but it looks like we’re getting closer.
Angela: I guess.

Scene 3: The stone

Akira: I wonder what this stone is?
Angela: It feels kind of like there’s something throbbing inside it.
Akira: Yeah… almost as if it were alive.
Angela: Oh, she should be here any minute.
Akira: That sounds like her.
Meda (enters): Did you find the stone?
Akira: Yes.
Meda: Well, let me see it.
Akira: This is the red stone you wanted, isn’t it?
Meda: Yes, this is it.
Akira: Ok, now tell us about the children.
Meda: Hnh, hnh, hnh…
Akira: What’s so funny?
Meda: Hee, hee, hee… Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! (transforms to Necromeda)
Akira: Fiend!
Necromeda: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Do not venture any further into our world or
it will be the end for you. The children you are searching for are destined
to die. Give up on your futile quest and leave this place. If you do not, you
shall suffer the same fate. Ha, ha, ha ha, ha! (disappears)
Akira: So they’re alive?
Necromeda: Ha, ha, ha…
Paulo (enters) Too late!
Akira: Who are you?
Paulo: Me? I am Paulo. I once lived in this mansion. And you are…?
Akira: My name is Akira. This is my partner Angela. What on earth was that
creature?
Paulo: That was… That was Necromeda, mistress of death.
Akira: So she really does have power over life?
Paulo: Yes. She’s one of a group of evil spirits I have been pursuing. Her
soul stone disappeared from its hiding place, so I came to see what was
happening. But I see I was too late.
Akira: !?... Her soul stone…? Do you mean the red stone?
Paulo: Yes, the red stone you found. The stone contains her soul. In order
to protect themselves from external enemies, these evil spirits place their
souls in other objects and then leave them in a safe place. I had hidden
the red stone, but…
Akira: But we came and took it away. I’m so sorry. We didn’t realize what we
were doing.
Paulo: Don’t worry. I’ll find it eventually f I keep searching. But what
are you doing in this mansion anyway?
Akira: We’re looking for some children.
Paulo: Children?
Akira: Yes - the ones in this photo. It seems they’re missing somewhere in
this mansion. Do you know anything about it? That evil spirit seemed to know
something, but I couldn’t get any information out of her…
Paulo: I saw some children here once… I think they were the same ones. But
if Necromeda is mixed up in it, you might as well give up hope now. They’ll
already be dead. Those evil spirits use the spirits of living humans to
nurture their soul stones, and to make new ones if they lose them. If you
get involved in this any further you’ll be killed too. You should leave this
place now while there’s still time. Forget about the children and go home.
Akira: But Necromeda said, “The children you are searching for are destined
to die.” So they must still be alive.
Paulo: You think they’re alive but imprisoned somewhere, then?
Akira: I think so. Do you know how we can find the evil spirits?
Paulo: Yes, but…
Akira: Paulo, we must save those kids if they’re still alive.
Paulo: I see… In that case, use this.
Akira: What is this?
Paulo: It’s the key to the cottage out back. There’s a room there that is
connected to the spirits’ castle. But I warn you - if you go in there there’s
no guarantee you’ll come back alive.
Akira: I understand.
Paulo: Well, be careful. (leaves)
Angela: What a strange man…

Scene 4: The castle’s entrance

Angela: Do you think this is the spirits’ castle?
Akira: It looks like it.
Angela: We’d better go on very carefully from here on.

Scene 5: The execution room

Angela: What on earth is this place?
Akira: It looks like an execution room.
Angela: Then those bones must be…
Akira: The remains of people they’ve killed…
Angela: Akira! There’s something over there!

Scene 6: Dave’s cell

Dave: Who are you…?
Akira: My name is Akira. This is my partner Angela. It’s Dave, right?
Dave: Yes… but how come you know my name?
Akira: Linda’s mother hired us to come and look for all of you. So it’d be
pretty strange if we didn’t at least know that, right?
Dave: I see.. Linda’s mother… So you’re going to get us out of here?
Akira: Yes, but we don’t have the key yet. Can you hang in there a little
longer?
Dave: Sure.

Scene 7: Toshi’s cell

Toshi: …gonna be killed, I’m gonna die…
Angela: That looks like… Yes, it’s Toshi, isn’t it?
Akira: I think so.
Toshi: …I’m gonna be killed, I’m gonna die here…
Akira: Toshi?
Toshi: Aaaah…!
Akira: Don’t worry. We’re here to help you. Linda’s mother hired us to come
and look for you all.
Toshi: Really? You’re human? You’ve come to save us?
Akira: Yes.
Toshi: Aaaaah! Help me! Get me out of here! Quickly! Please, quickly!
Akira: I’m sorry, Toshi, but we don’t have the key.
Toshi: You’re joking. You didn’t really come here to save us after all. Of
course. No-one can save us from those evil spirits. It’s just like they
said - I’m going to be killed.
Akira: It’s ok. Don’t worry. We’ll get you out of here.
Toshi: Really? You’ll really save me?
Akira: Yes. I promise.
Toshi: Thank heaven… And Dave too?
Akira: Of course. We came to look for the three of you.
Toshi: Dave’s the best. When we were attacked by the evil spirits, he tried
to protect us, acting as a shield, even though he was so scared his legs
were shaking. I was so terrified I couldn’t do anything…
Akira: Why id you come here anyway?
Toshi: That was Linda’s fault… At first we were just sightseeing in the
town. Then Linda said we should try to see more than just the tourist areas,
so we went further and further into the mountains. When we came across the
mansion it looked interesting, so we decided to go in and take a look. We
never imagined in our wildest dreams that it would be linked with a place
like this, or those evil spirits would appear. Then, even after the spirits
appeared, we kept coming back day after day to take photos. I said we should
stop coming as they might spot us, but Linda didn’t listen to a word I said.
Then Necromeda found us… We would never have gotten ourselves into this
mess, if we’d just kept away from this place - it’s all her fault… Please
find the key and let me out of here. I just want to get out and go home!
Akira: We’ll have to get you out of there as soon as we can.

Scene 8: Linda’s cell

Linda: Who are you…?
Akira: My name is Akira. This is my partner Angela. You’re Linda, aren’t you?
Linda: Yes, but how did you…
Akira: Your mother hired us to come and look for all of you.
Linda: My mother? Oh, so she got the photos…
Akira: Yes.
Linda: Thank God.
Akira: You’re a lucky girl.
Linda: Yes. Well, could you get me out of here please?
Akira: I’m sorry, but we don’t have the key. Can you hold out a little longer?
Linda: Oh… ok.
Akira: Don’t worry. We’ll be back as fast as we can.
Linda: Ok. It wont take that long, will it?
Akira: Not if we can help it.

Scene 9: The watchroom

Angela: Hold on. I’ll stay here in this room and keep an eye on them all. If
we both go to look for the key, something could happen to them while we’re
away.
Akira: But it’s so dangerous…
Angela: It’s a little dangerous, but we won’t be safe anywhere while we’re in
this castle.
Akira: That’s true, but…
Angela: Don’t worry, if things get dangerous I’ll get out.
Akira: Well, ok.
Angela: Right, it’s settled. But bring back some oil in case the light in
this room goes out. I won’t be able to escape if it’s dark.
Akira: Sure.
Angela: I’m counting on you. Now you’d better get going.
Akira: Ok.

Scene 10: Time to go back

Akira: The oil in the watchroom will run out soon.

Scene 11: Oil to Angela

Akira: Anything happen?
Angela: No, nothing.

Scene 12: Falling into a trap

Necromeda: Greetings.
Akira: Necromeda…
Necromeda: Congratulations on making it this far. You found the dungeon key
too, I see. Not bad for a human. But this is as far as you get. It’s time for
you to take a little rest. Then afterwards I’ll take my time to…
Akira: Ahh!
Necromeda: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Farewell!
Akira: Damn! Ah!

Scene 13: Rescue

Paulo: Is there anyone own there?
Akira: I-is that you Paulo?
Paulo: Yes… Akira, is that you?
Akira: Yes, it’s me.
Paulo: What are you doing in there?
Akira: Well…
Paulo: You’re locked in, right?
Akira: Yes, I can’t see any way out.
Paulo: Ok, wait a moment. I’m going to drop an item down to you. Here it
comes!
Akira: Ok! (uses item) Where am I? What happened?
Paulo: Amazing, isn’t it? It’s called a mark item. It transports you instantly
to wherever the other mark item is. But enough about that - did you find the
children?
Akira: Oh, yes! I must hurry. I had to leave them locked in the dungeon.
Paulo: I see. You better get going then.
Akira: Right. Thanks so much, Paulo.

Scene 14: Back in the cells

Angela: Akira!
Akira: What happened?
Angela: The children were taken away just a few minutes ago!
Akira: What?
Angela: If we hurry we’ll still be able to catch up with them.
Akira: Ok. Hold on while I get you out of there. (opens cell) Right, let’s go!

Scene 15: Toshi’s destiny

Akira: Necromeda…
Necromeda: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Did you have a nice little rest in the dungeon?
Akira: You… Where did you take them?!
Necromeda: You really want to know? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You’ll find out about
them soon enough!
Toshi (from another room): Aaaah! Someone help me!
Necromeda: Now do you understand? It is his fate to die soon. And for the
rest - I’ll take my time to… Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! …Now I must be going.

Scene 16: Fighting the minotaur

Toshi: Don’t come any closer - Someone help me! Ahh!
Akira (after killing minotaur): Are you ok?
Toshi: What took you so long? I was about to be killed!
Akira: Sorry. I meant to get back sooner. (Paulo enters) …Paulo.
Paulo: I got worried so I came to take a look. He’s ok, I see.
Akira: Yes. Thank God. But the other child was taken away.
Paulo: I see.
Akira: Paulo, do you have any idea where I should look? Please tell me anything
you can.
Paulo: Let’s see… It’s just a guess, but you could try looking in the
underground dungeon in the south tower. The only dungeons in this place are
here and in that tower.
Akira: The south tower…How do I get there from here?
Paulo: Follow the passage on the west side of the castle southwards.
Akira: Thanks. I’ll go and check it out.
Paulo: Be careful. I really should go with you, you know…
Akira: I’ll be ok.
Paulo: Alright. Take this, then.
Akira: …This is the item you used before, isn’t it?
Paulo: Yes. It may come in handy. You use it the same way you did when you got
out of the underground dungeon.
Akira: Right. Thanks.
Paulo: That’s ok. Well, I’d better be going. (leaves)
Akira: Ok. I’m going to look for the south tower. Could you take Toshi to a
safe place?
Angela: Ok. When I’ve got him there, I’ll come back.
Akira: Thanks.
Angela: Let’s go, Toshi.
Toshi: Ok.

Scene 17: Catching up

Akira: Angela! How did it go with Toshi?
Angela: I got him back safely.
Akira: Good… Let’s go then.
Angela: Ok.

Scene 18: Watercourse’s entrance

Angela: What a nasty damp place!
Akira: The underground dungeon Paulo mentioned must be up ahead somewhere.
Angela: Akira! There’s something over there!

Scene 19: Pulling the lever

Angela: Akira, I can’ hear the water flowing anymore.
Akira: Pressing the switch must have had some effect.
Angela: Let’s go and see.

Scene 20: Water’s gone

Angela: Akira, look. The water’s gone.
Akira: We can cross to the other side now.
Angela: Yes. Let’s go.

Scene 21: On their way to the water prison

Linda (from beyond): No, no! Help!
Angela: We’ve got to hurry!

Scene 22: Water prison

Akira: Sorry it took so long.
Dave: Akira. You came back like you promised.
Akira: Are you the only one here? What happened to Linda?
Dave: Linda… she was taken away just a few minutes ago.
Akira: What! So that voice was…
Angela: Yes, Akira. If we don’t go after her right away she’ll be in great
danger.
Akira: I know. Wait a minute. Let me get you out of there. (opens cell) Angela,
you get Dave to a safe place. I’ll go on ahead to the execution room.
Angela: Ok, I’ll follow you there afterwards.
Akira: Thanks.
Angela: Right, let’s go, Dave.
Dave: Ok.

Scene 23: Hypnos

Linda: Akira, help!
Hypnos: Who are you?! Ah! The human that Necromeda was pursuing, I see!
Linda: Help! No, no! Keep away!
Hypnos (after beating he crap out of Akira): Ha, ha, ha… So you humans thought
you could defeat me, Hypnos, master of terror? What fools you are…
Akira: Ah…
Paulo (enters): Hypnos…
Hypnos: Ah, Paulo. You are still trying to destroy us, I see.
Paul: Yes, I won’t stop until I have my revenge on you for killing my wife.
Hypnos: Revenge? You really believe you can destroy us? No matter how many of
you try, there’s no way you can triumph over us.
Paul: Ha, what about this? Does this change anything?
Hypnos: M-my soul stone. Where did you find it?
Paulo (kills Hypnos): Are you ok?
Akira: Yes, I’m alright.
Linda: Akira… I’m sorry. I should never have come near this place.
Akira: That’s alright, Linda. This is what I do for a living, you know. Now,
we’d better get you home or your mother will be worried.
Linda: Ok.
Akira: What are you going to do now, Paulo?
Paulo: Me? I’m going to go and destroy the two remaining spirits.
Akira: I see… Well, it’s goodbye, then.
Paulo: Yes.
Akira: Ah-
Paulo: Tsch. You’re going to have a tough time getting home in that condition.
I’ll come with you til you get to a safe place. Let’s go.

Scene 24: It’s not over yet

Angela: Akira…
Necromeda: Ah, and Paulo too, I see.
Paulo: What are you going to do with her, Necromeda?
Necromeda: Ha, ha, ha… The same thing I did to your wife!
Paulo: You monster!
Necromeda: Sorry, but I don’t have time to waste on you! Goodbye! Ha, ha, ha,
ha, ha! (disappears with Angela)
Akira: Angela!!
Paulo: Akira, Angela will be in great danger if you don’t save her. The
spirits have entered their active period.
Akira: But I don’t know where she was taken.
Paulo: Probably to the room of death.
Akira: The room of death?
Paulo: Yes. You’ll need to get the key to the room before you go there,
though. It’s in a room on the second floor of the mansion.
Akira: What about you?
Paulo: Me? I’ll look for Necromeda’s soul stone in the meantime. Go on
ahead - I’ll follow shortly. Don’t fight Necromeda without me.
Akira: Ok, I better get going, then.

Scene 25: Finding Angela

Angela: Akira!
Paulo: Akira… Your partner is safe.
Akira: Paulo - are you alright…?
Paulo: Yes, don’t worry. It’d take more than that to do me in.
Akira: …What was that…?
Paulo: That was Tanatos, master of death. He’s the oldest of the spirits,
and overlord of those I was pursuing…
Akira: Paulo, why are you involved in this?
Paulo: They killed my wife a number of years ago.
Akira: Your wife… So…
Paulo: Yes. There’s nothing left for me now…
Angela: Akira, we’d better get out of here..
Akira: Yes.
Angela: Let’s go.
Akira: I hope you destroy them, Paulo.

Scene 26: Almost home

Paulo: Akira…
Akira: What happened?
Paulo: I’m sorry, but I can’t return home with you.
Akira: Why not? You can’t mean you’re going to stay behind here!
Angela: Akira…
Akira: Paulo, what is it…?
Necromeda (enters): Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You really thought I’d let you
escape that easily?!
Paulo: Necromeda…
Necromeda: You’ve impressed me, Paulo. I never imagined you’d be able to
defeat both Tanatos and Hypnos… Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Paulo: And you’re about to follow them, Necromeda!
Necromeda: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! How could such a puny little thing like you
fight me? There’s no ay you can win.
Paulo: You’re the one who should be worrying about that.
Necromeda: You haven’t got…
Paulo: Yes, I have. Oh…
Akira: Paulo, are you alright? Leave this to me!
Necromeda: Hold your tongue, human, and you may live a little longer… No,
why not get rid of you now!
Paulo: Akira, watch out. Necromeda is…

Scene 27: The final battle

Necromeda: The final blow! Die! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! It has no effect at all,
does it? (Akira destroys the soul stone) My soul stone. Where did you find
it…? Aaaah! I never thought a human could destroy me… I was mistaken…

Scene 28: Finally over

Angela: Akira… You did it…
Akira: Yes, somehow… Paulo…
Paulo: Akira, did you get its soul stone..?
Akira: Yes.
Paulo: Good… My revenge is now complete.
Akira: Let’s get out of here.
Paulo: I told you, Akira. I cannot return home.
Akira: Why not? You’ve had your revenge on the spirits now, haven’t you?
Paulo: Yes, I have. But I…
Angela: Akira… C’mon Akira, let’s go.
Akira: But…
Paulo: When you get back, burn down the mansion to seal up the entrance to
the castle. It’s time to say farewell. We won’t be meeting again… (leaves)
Akira: Paulo… Why couldn’t he…?
Angela: C’mon, let’s go home!
Akira: Ok…
