XXII:  THE EYE OF NIGHT

the God

The being that sleeps inside the holy mother... is this truly God? 

At the end of the game, the creature called "God" appears.  However, the 
form that it assumes seems too sinister for it to be the same being that 
is supposed to bring paradise to this world.  One possible explanation for 
this is that if the town of Silent Hill holds the power to materialize 
delusions and innermost thoughts from one's subconscious, "God" is the 
result of someone's delusions just like the other creatures. 

And did the seed of God that was growing inside Heather truly disappear?
That is left to the player to interpret.

The fetus that Heather vomited up may have been actualized by the human
subconscious as well.

Creator's Commentary:  In the original tarot, there is no Eye of Night card.  
The idea is that this card is added corresponding to a Hebrew vowel, even 
though tarot originates from the Hebrew alphabet which has only letters that 
are consonants.  The card suggests God.

The form of God that is born to the earth changes depending on those who 
summon it

The god that sleeps inside Alessa has appeared in various forms throughout 
the series.  The fact is that there is no one form of God because the form
that it takes is projected by the minds of those who summon it.
