XXI : The World
Another World
Does the real world influence the otherworld born of delusions and the power of the town?
The power of Silent Hill absorbs what people hold in their hearts
and manifests delusions and elements of their subconscious minds. And so, the
truth is that the consciousness that becomes the main constituent of what is
called the "otherworld" varies. As a few different incarnations of the
otherworld have been presented up to this point in the series, let us ascertain
the differences in each of these respective works.
In the otherworld of Silent Hill,
the world is seen differently depending on the person.
|
On some occasions the shift to
the otherworld can occur suddenly.

The main
constituent of the otherworld differs in each
work of the series
[Silent Hill]
Due to her severe
burns and endless suffering, Alessa's power runs wild. Her agony is
manifested and the entire town is swallowed up by the otherworld.
|
Harry searches for his daughter in the otherworld.
|
[Silent
Hill 2]
Regarding James, who
escapes from the crime that he has committed, elements from the
depths of his consciousness are manifested. What the power of the
town causes to appear before him is an otherworld that is a
combination of his delusions and his desire for punishment.
|
As James acknowledges his crime, the otherworld disappears.
|
[Silent Hill 3]
The shift to the otherworld that occurs in the shopping mall, among other places, has to do with Claudia. As she recovers her memories, Alessa's influence grows stronger.
|
Claudia possesses a unique power.
|
Inclusion of a
phantom ending
If Heather should attack
Claudia in the final stage of the game, God is born and it's "game over."
However, this can be interpreted as another conclusion to the story.
It's intended not to simply be
"game over," but another ending.
