silent hill is basically just a really extreme therapy session. where rather than facing your fears by talking about it. its presented to you as a monster that you have to kill. except if you do, bad things happens.

[@demonheart13]

[@mistergaunt7291]

It's only a therapy session if you played SH2, or its ripoffs, Origins, Homecoming, Downpour, Shattered Memories, BM, etc. In 3 out of 4 games in the actual series it's not about therapy.

[@arlenfreeman3439]

@@mistergaunt7291 The events of SH1, 3 & 4 are directly tied to forces _other_ than the town itself trying to utilize the demonic power surounding it. By itself, the town has become a place of penance for those with heavy guilt weighing on their souls, judging how much of that guilt is justified and how much they have left to pay to be redeemed, even if just in their own eyes.

[@crushelnast6657]

*coughs* I thought that’s not how you deal with your fears

[@royery]

Everybody seems to forget that in Silent Hil 1 and 4, the monsters weren't created from the player's character's mind. In SH1 the monsters were a manisfestation of Alessa's fears and hate, and the monsters you find in SH4 come from the mind of Walter Sullivan. Even some of the monsters you encounter in SH: Downpour, like the Dolls, come from the mind of Anne, not Murphy. So it's possible if u get stuck in Silent Hill, the monsters you'd see could be somebody else's manisfestations.

[@Despond]

Abstract Daddy in SH2 was from Angela, as it was a manifest of her father, only James saw it differently to her.

Heard someone saying that only those with 'pure' inocent heart would be able to not go into the hells of Silent Hill and just experience the normal state of the town, but, how pure do you have to be? Some said that id be impossible to be pure enough to not get into the fog/other world, but it seems that you guys forget that both James and Mary visisted Silent Hill before the events of the game and didnt experience the powers of the town. Same to Henry, who visited the town multiple times before the events of SH4. They were full grown persons, unlike Laura, but they didnt experience the fog/other world. Thisnis cause the town on calls those with unresolved traumas or a heavy guilty, and forces them to go into those traumas in order to overcome them. Thats why James only entered the other world after he killes Mary, cause of his repressed guilt ans trauma. So, basically, only if you have a real heavy trauma or guilt to overcome (or if you're unlucky enough to get involved into someone else nightmare like Harry or Henry) you wouldnt experience any unnatural and would just see Silent Hill as a regular town

Silent Hill proves to make a point to those in it. You're right in saying that the town works towards people to accept their flaws and exit a better person.

rockinonthemove Technically speaking, no one is a side character in silent hill. Its just that we can’t play its other visitors. Sure, it may seem that way since the story revolves around James but, characters such as Angela and Ed experience Silent Hill in their own way. Both of them have their own personalized hells to trekk and meander in and both have their own “executioners” or a presence like Pyramid Head that they must conquer. The only “side” character I could think of is Maria, but even then shes just a mirage; an illusion perpetuated by the town for James to confront his ill past and misdeeds.

Here’s something most people seem to get wrong though: out of all the original games Silent Hill 2 is the only one where the town makes the protagonists fears and traumas come to life to haunt them. Silent Hill’s nightmare world is Alessa’s, Silent Hill 3’s is Claudia’s, and Silent Hill 4’s is Walter’s. The misconception that your traumas and fears would come to life to antagonize you is the biggest one in the series. It only happens in 2 and then in the one side post Team Silent games because they all try to emulate 2 in some way.

[@trebot9292266]

In silent hill 2 we see that a persons nightmare world does not have to be exclusive to the person. the Protagonist in 1 goes into Alessa's world. I cant talk about 3, because i never played it and know very little of it. 4 is a weird one because it was shoehorned into being a silent hill game, Though it seems the way his nightmare world works is through invading it with others. Walter was a bit of a shut in, so invading his world with outsiders would go along with the theme a bit. Then the blame for them getting hurt is also on him as he brought them there even if unwillingly.

[@Vladicarus]

@@trebot9292266 It was debunked that it was shoehorned, the devs confirmed it was always going to be a Silent hill game.

[@scotcheggable]

Silent hill three is also heather's. The game was originally going to be in the same vein as 2, with heather being someone who was raped and then became pregnant, presumably aborting the fetus and feeling guilty about it. That's why basically everything is either a dick, a vagina, or some form of body dismorphia embodied.

People survive Silent Hill by learning the lessons it teaches them; If you've done something wrong or have a dark past, Silent Hill forces you to reconcile that aspect of yourself.
