Helpless is the worst of Ethan Mars's 7 endings in Heavy Rain. This and Unpunished are the two worst endings of the whole game.

Characters Edit

Ethan Mars

Ending Edit

Ethan is in prison, having been sucessfully framed as the Origami Killer, with scrambled origami figures all over his cell. Unable to take the suffering, he hangs himself in his jail cell for being unable to save either Shaun or Jason.

Requirements Edit

• Ethan has to either:
  • Get arrested in both Fugitive and On the Loose.
  • Get arrested in On the Loose and have Norman die in Fish Tank or Mad Jack.
• Shaun has to die (which means that Madison and Norman must both either die or fail to get to The Old Warehouse)

TriviaEdit

• This ending along with Dead Heroine, Uploaded, and Unpunished are considered by many to be the worst combination of endings, since, as a result, all main characters die with the exception of Scott, including Shaun and Lauren.
• Helpless is considered to be Ethan's worst epilogue due to him being falsely accused as the Origami Killer, and losing Shaun.
• It is interesting to note that Ethan's suicide would not usually be possible in the real world, as prison guards and personnel would generally not allow an inmate time alone with a length of rope which could be suitably fashioned into a noose.
