Maybe as like a bonus mode or online mode, but honestly a co-op story mode in a Silent Hill game would just kind of detract from the whole experience for me. Having someone else there would take me as the player out of the immersion in the story because I have someone else playing beside me, having to worry what their doing, having to co-operate on tasks and fights and puzzles, etc.
An NPC is kinda different because it's like you're interacting with something INSIDE the game's story, and in a way that immerses you even further.
Having the prisoners all see a different hill would be interesting but would probably lead to a lot of inconsistencies and compromises on the game's vibe. Although, that'd be rad if maybe the other prisoners play a part in the story and see a different town b/c of their own experience.
