Setting
The final and most dramatic world of Silent Hill is the Otherworld. The Otherworld can be seen as a symbolic manifestation of a person’s psyche, though usually harnesses the negative emotions of a subject, such as hate and fear. Because of these common emotions, the world looks nearly the same for each person. For most it is incredibly dark and industrialized, with structures being composed of fencing, metal plates, fans, and piping. Smokestacks, windmills, and corpses also lend to the appearance of this world. Blood covers most things, if not everything, in this twisted world.
The Otherworld usually is signaled by a tornado siren that goes off. Paint will begin to peel off the walls, showing the fencing and piping underneath. The atmosphere darkens all together, with the only light coming from flames and the few lights that may remain on it buildings. Outside, it is night-time, though the fog is gone. Monster encounters are extremely common in this world, luckily this only sets in every one in awhile.

The Otherworld
One of the three dimensions in Silent Hill, this one is the most dramatic. It's mechanical and industrialized, with the walls made of metal fencing, fans and piping. Corpses are also quite commonly seen, and blood covers everything.
