What is an abstract daddy even supposed to be?

[On.Pestilent.Winds.]

What were they smoking when they came up with the concepts for the enemies in this game? What are they all supposed to be and where did they all come from in the first place?

Its a manifestation of Angelas dad who was sexually abusing her in her childhood

[dannyj147]

The monsters were inspired by films such as Jacob's ladder.

[The Suspect]

Abstract daddy is indeed supposed to represent Angela's dad sexually abusing her, about the other monsters, they represent James' lust (Mary's disease made James sexually frustrated). The nurses and the mannequins obviously represent his lust and the lying figures represent Mary being James' prisoner. pretty disturbing if you think about it

I did a few months ago. 10/10. I also have SH3 / sh1 as well. I was more just wondering if the monsters were aliens or some sort of inter dimensional beings.

You have them but I can tell you haven't played them. Not saying that as a bad thing, but you clearly have no idea what silent hill is, with that statement.

If you have 1, go back and play it. Then 3 as it is a direct sequel to 1.

You rate it a 10/10 but you don't know what these monsters are, you even think they are aliens?

This is the original design of Abstract Daddy. It's literally a man doing someone on a bed. The reason why it's designed this way is very obvious. It's Angela's trauma leaking into James' version of Silent Hill.

Yep, let's not forget that the SH2 remake is going to bring in a brand new audience who maybe never touched a Silent Hill game in their life. They haven't been exposed to all of the nuances and narrative symbology present in the game before. This is going to be a brand new experience for a lot of people.
