Silent Hill, Maine

==Summary==
Silent Hill is a rural town located in Maine, New England that — on the surface — is a pleasant locale for a vacation, but upon digging deeper it's actually a place with a sordid past and an even deadlier present. A sinister cult, hellish dimensions and inner demons made real. Silent Hill has the supernatural power to physically manifest the emotions, traumas and sins of whoever steps within its radius into very real threats. The only way to deal with the town's darkness is to either learn from it or be consumed by it.
The primary effect of Silent Hill is its transition into twisted planes of existence split up into either the Fog World or Otherworld. The Fog World, as its name implies, is covered by dense fog and mostly devoid of human life. The Otherworld often proceeds the Fog World and has a more variable appearance, but is typically characterized by its pitch darkness, industrial environment, abundance of rust and mesh grating, and being littered with mangled corpses.
A third and lesser seen reality is the Nowhere which resembles the Otherworld but is made up of an amalgamation of various separate locations.
