** Even worse when it's revealed in VideoGame/SilentHill3 that [[spoiler: Harry was essentially ''afraid'' of the baby he escaped with, not sure if it was Cheryl, Alessa, or some horrific combination of them both. His fear and anguish grew so great that he ''was ready to throttle the baby to death''. The pain the poor dude goes through stretched well beyond this game's ending...]]
** Even worse than ''that''? The Good ending, whether you think "Good" or "Good +" is canon, does not mean a happy ending. [[spoiler: Harry essentially spends the remainder of his life on the run from The Order and even the law when he's forced to kill one of their followers, dragging along the then young Heather/Cheryl and hiding their identities until his gruesome demise at the hands of Claudia's Missionary. Basically, the beginning intro of the game with him lovingly watching over the sleeping Cheryl before the car wreck...that's the happiest the dude is really ever gonna be again...]]

None of the things said in the example were true. The game just shows Harry dead without any more elaboration.


* The Bad Endings in general. Harry never even made it to Silent Hill and he never even had an adopted daughter. He died in a car crash and the whole game was nothing more than a dying man's hallucination.

** The kicker? According to the directors, Lisa's soul is ''still'' trapped in the Otherworld by the time of Silent Hill 3. And it's not clear whether the ending of the third game freed her soul or not.

The developers did claim that either Good or Good + can be seen as canon right?

* The Good ending is bittersweet in that while Harry foiled the Order's plans and essentially saved Alessa/Cheryl's soul and is carrying the union of them both in the baby he's escaping with, he wasn't able to save either Lisa or Cybil. He escapes all alone and looks up at the sky with such confusion and uncertainty when he finally gets away from Silent Hill...
