Suddenly, Harry swerves to avoid a girl standing in the road and crashes his car. Single father Harry Mason and his young daughter Cheryl are driving to the resort town of Silent Hill for a holiday vacation. Konami jumped on the Survival Horror bandwagon (created by the success of Resident Evil) with 1999's Silent Hill, the first game of Konami's Silent Hill franchise and a far more psychological take on the Survival Horror genre.
