Domestic Abuse: He's a victim of this in the "Wicked and Weak" ending, at Dahlia's hands.Decoy Protagonist: The player is led to believe that he is the patient in Dr.He is a "perfect" idea of her father she created due to the guilt she felt over his death. Dead All Along: Turns out he has been dead for years and everything about him may or may not be a figment of Cheryl's imagination.Chick Magnet: Played for Drama in the "Sleaze and Sirens" ending, where Harry was a lecherous womanizer who cheated on his wife repeatedly, which caused the break in their marriage.Depending on the player's choices, she can come to see him as just a regular dad, a Jerkass, a drunk, or a womanizer who cheated on Dahlia. Broken Pedestal: To Cheryl in all the endings, to varying degrees.They don't think staying together is a good idea, but mutually agree that they still love Cheryl. Amicable Exes: If the player guns for the "Love Lost" ending, he's this with Dahlia.This is what his character could be said to be built upon, as in-game decisions can lead to four different epilogues that portray him in four different ways that don't match one another. Alternate Character Interpretation: Invoked.Showing a preference for alcohol in the therapy sessions counts towards getting it, which suggests Harry passed on his issues to Cheryl. Alcoholic Parent: In the "Drunk Dad" ending.The game tutorial will flat-out say you can't kill the monsters, only run. He can only run from the Raw Shocks or hide in specific places, only sometimes coming across a flare he can use to keep them at bay.
Adaptational Wimp: Gameplay-wise, this version of Harry can't defend himself against the monsters and finds no methods of doing so whatsoever.Either way, he'll turn out way different from the Harry Mason of old. Sometimes it's possible to make him an outright variable between either extreme, starting off aggressive before later becoming more subdued, causing an interesting case of Character Development. Harry can be an outwardly nice gentleman with everyone he meets minus the occasional moment of stress or an abrasive jackass who either thinks only of his addictions or the women around him. Adaptation Personality Change: An interesting take on the trope where the changes are entirely up to the player as they go through the game, interacting with their environment and going through Dr.Justified, as Cheryl really admired her dad, and his parts of the game are nothing but figments of her imagination. Yet he manages to survive exploring the entire town with nothing but quick wits, some flares and a flashlight. Action Survivor: This time, Harry cannot fight Silent Hill's monsters and has to run away from them.In the "Wicked and Weak" ending, he's the one being abused by Dahlia, but the ending's title, and the fact that it can only be achieved on a low morality playthrough, suggest he's no better than her. Abusive Parents: Though he's never shown abusing Cheryl directly, the "Drunk Dad" and "Sleaze and Sirens" endings make him out to be neglectful at the very best.Except, as he progresses through Silent Hill, his memories of his daughter start to become inconsistent with reality, and he might be facing a much harsher revelation than simply his daughter being "missing". After a car crash, he loses his young daughter Cheryl and will stop at nothing to find her, no matter what abominations he must face. I feel like I'm losing my grasp on the truth of it.
