Homecoming overtaken by the Otherworld forever?
Since Alex doesn't die in Homecoming, wouldn't that make the town be in it's Otherworld state forever? Unless you count the In Water ending as canon.

^or Hospital ending
but it could be that the fog and otherworld are indeed staying in Sheperds Glen, or at least for its inhabitants...

James didn't necessarily die at the end of SH2 either, and Harry didn't die in SH1, Nor Heather in 3. What's your point exactly?

Im assuming since the sacrifice of Alex is still alive (excluding the hospital ending) im guessing the god's still pissed at the town. So i'd say that the town would be all foggy and otherworldish.

then the family lines all being ended kind of ties that up. None of the other families had surviving master at arms that we know of. Therefore Alex is but one of the problems confronting the town vs God. But if you realize the only reason the town was cast into the otherworld was because the founding families and their descendants believed it would be so, then the town's otherworld likely ceases to exist as soon as the last member who actually believes in the punishment is gone.

Well if thats the case then why in the Good ending of Homecoming is the town still shrouded in fog if the last person who believes in the punishment is dead?

Hey, I said likely. 
Besides, for all we know, it could just be the characters you see at the end of the game that are in the foggy town now.

From what I understood, the New Order under Judge Holloway have been kidnapping and converting a good number of people. While you fight quite a few members in the lair there must be some non-combat-competent members still lurking around and holding onto their beliefs. Once they either come out of it or die the otherworld should dissipate.
Perhaps Alex himself comes to believe in it, since he's just spent the last few hours going through what he went through.
It's also a possibility that it will take a little bit of time for the mojo to fade. Real or not, the events of SH games can have an effect on the town. SH1, anyone?

Or maybe he has to leave the area being affected by the Otherworld like Harry Mason did in SH1 and James does in the Leave Ending. It's not just going to teleport him to the middle of a real-world street or anything, that doesn't seem to be the precedent.
From what I gather, even though the curse, or whatever, is broken, he's going to be in the Otherworld until he marches out of Shepherd's Glenn, and then it'll transition into reality seamlessly. Humans don't seem to notice dimensional shifts unless they're konked the fuck out.
