In the first game, two pairs of parents and
children appear: Harry and Cheryl, as well as Dahlia and Alessa. One of
these is a parent who has a strong love for his daughter, which is in
contrast with the other parent who is unloving and uses her daughter for
her own personal gain. It is a point of interest that the relationship
between Harry and Cheryl is unaffected by their lack of blood relation,
in fact the two of them are tied together by a close bond. |

On the other hand, two relationships are
contrasted in the third game: that of Harry and Heather with that of
Leonard and Claudia. Heather, the daughter who is loved by her father
and Claudia, the unloved daughter, become the principal axis of the
story. It is a point worth noting that a complete contrast is formed by
their respective actions and intentions. |
From the start, Harry, the protagonist, primarily acts in
accordance with his role as a parent. |

Simultaneously with the love between parent and child, the
elements of "life" and "rebirth" are also closely related to the
theme. |
