In the re-imagining of the first game, Harry's role is the same. However, a plot twist is revealed in the end. It turns out he died from the car crash in the beginning of the game; it has taken place 18 years ago. As soon as he goes to the lighthouse where Cheryl is, it's a clinic by Dr. Kaufmann, and his daughter has been his mysterious patient all along. It turns out Harry is just a manifestation of Cheryl's fantasy trying to deny her father's death.
