The Otherworld of number 2 was created by James, Angela, Eddie, Laura, and Ernest Baldwin. The Otherworld over the town of Silent Hill is basically a meeting point of several people's minds, except in 1 and 3 we only see Alessa's/Heather's version, whereas in 2 we see several other people's.

Alessa was perfectly alive. She was just so horribly burned that she was better off being dead. "What's keeping that child alive?" Etcetera etcetera.Alessa was technically dead in SH1. That didn't stop her influence in the Otherworld.
That's debateable, though I happen to agree.But, to clarify something, no one "creates" the Otherworld, it's there already. They just have influence on how it appears and such. Like painting on a blank canvas.

I think Alessa created it, if not maybe the deity the cult wanted to bring about. In both cases though, it would already have been there. As to when it turns is what I wonder and what actually causes the turn itself.

In my opinion, SH2 was created by the darkness held in James' mind and heart.
it depends for james it was his guilt and remorse
if he didnt really care for what he did, silent hill couldnt bring him to his wrongdoing,
but because he is dilligently trying to find his wife, thus means he cares deeply
other words if he didnt give a shit, he wouldnt have been drawn into such a devious situation
key words
guilt, repression, and regret.
andrashi and cactus are right because the game shows us this.

Even the cult thing is just the psyche of a person, but just the psyches of the cultists. The Cult has no more influence on the Otherworld than anyone else. Their religious beliefs, in mass numbers, just gives them more leeway, like a majority of one party having a voting advantage in politics.
One version votes "Personal demons!" 20 cult members vote "THE GOD!" etc.
