Story

After several strange visions and the tragic death of her father, Heather travels to Silent Hill with Detective Douglas Cartland in search of a woman named Claudia. A crazed member of a cult in Silent Hill, Claudia murdered Heather's father, to fill Heather's heart with anger for some unknown purpose. On the way to Silent Hill while Heather reads a memo from her dead father, it is revealed that her father is Harry Mason, the protagonist from the first Silent Hill game. Heather's real name is "Cheryl Mason," the lost little girl Harry searches for in the first game. Heather then must search for Claudia, get her revenge and discover the true nature of her own past with the town's cult.

Three Different Endings
