Yo
Heylo. The straight answer is pretty much there is answer. SH is a mysterious series where paranormal phenomena and spiritual powers do indeed exist. The town is built on land that has a mysterious spiritual aura surrounding it. This causes things like the monsters manifesting and alternate worlds. While the fog could be supernatural, it could also just be the fog rising from the lake (Toluca) the town's built by.

The Order is a cult in the town which has their own beliefs and myths. There's the chance that their beliefs are indeed true, which could also be a cause of the spiritual essence the town has. Perhaps God exists and She is watching over the town, it's never really said.

SH is a resort town so people come here to relax. It has hotels, a pretty lake, an amusement park, lots of shops. The town is not truly abandoned (ignore the movie), when people (like, pretty much every playable character) come to the town and there's no one there, it's because they aren't fully in reality, or the Real World, and are either in the Fog World or Otherworld as we call them. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  11:28, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Like Alex said, there are different layers of reality in the town. The person caught in the Fog World/Otherworld reality is literally in the town, just not in the version of it most people see. The town was built on ground Native Americans felt was "spiritual", and the Fog World has existed since God (or Konami) knows when. The Otherworld was created sometime shortly before the events of the first game by a character you'll get to know well as you play the series. Up until then, the town didn't act the way it does in the second game (you'll know what I mean when you finish the game), but the alternate reality became so twisted by the way it was used in the first game that it changed.

To make sure you get the In Water ending, there are a few things you need to do.
 * Keep your health low throughout the game and take your time healing yourself
 * Examine Angela's knife as often as possible
 * Read the diary on the hospital roof
 * Listen to the entire hallway conversation
 * Listen to the headphones in the reading room after watching the tape
 * Read the second message written on the wall in Neely's Bar
 * Let Maria get beaten up a fair amount

As for how he found Mary, she's not literally in the room he picks her up from. Her body was actually in the trunk of his car the whole time. The scene is largely metaphorical of him carrying her back to the car, when he literally couldn't have done that because she was already in the car all along. He then commits suicide by driving into the lake with Mary's body in his trunk. Also, a good site for learning info about the series is http://translatedmemories.com A word of warning, though, since you haven't played any but the second game, I highly recommend you stick to only the SH2 specific parts due to there being massive spoilers for all the games littered throughout the site.

 * It's unknown how long before the events of the game Mary died, but it's generally believed to be a few hours to a day or two. James thought Mary died 3 years ago because that's when she first got sick. He supressed the memories of the 3 years he had to watch Mary spiral down the drain because he didn't want to remember it. Mary wrote the letter James starts the game with, and he received it before the game and read the first page over and over again, committing it to memory. His already deluded mind made up the idea that Mary might still be alive and that he had never seen the letter before. He didn't remember killing Mary because he didn't want to remember it. He snapped in a moment of rage and smothered her to death, then was so overcome by grief that he repressed the memory, made up a story that might mean she was still alive, and drove to Silent Hill with her body in the trunk of his car. I'm not sure what you mean by the "updated" question. If you're asking if Silent Hill is abandoned, it's not. It's only in the movie that the town has been abandoned.

James is in an alternate reality, just like most everyone else seen in the game series. He can't see the people in the real world, and they can't see him.  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  23:47, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Geo
is a fan-created full-scale map of SH that encompasses the layout of all the games as best possible. It's been argued that the differences in layout between games may be because Silent Hill is growing and changing, which makes sense because the town isn't abandoned, so there will be a constant exchange of people and businesses moving in and out of the town.

Origins
Basically, Alessa causes him to stop out of desperation, because he happens to be passing Silent Hill right as she's being burned. She pulls him into the fog world, where he's confronted by his personal demons, which Alessa makes him face so that he can find the parts of the Flauros. The Flauros holds her power, and once Travis restores it, she's able to use her powers to lash out at everyone around her. But it's too late by the time, and Travis is drawn into the world of the Flauros to fight the demon, a creature trapped within there. The ritual is completed, but Alessa suceeds in splitting her soul, which she then leaves on the side of the road. HTH :)  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  10:08, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
