So You Ditched Simon in Detroit: Become Human? Don't Sweat It (Too Much)
We've all been there. You're playing Detroit: Become Human, knee-deep in android revolution feels, and BAM! You gotta make a choice: save yourself or save your fuzzy, freedom-fighting friend Simon. Maybe you panicked, maybe you were low on health, whatever the reason, you yelled "Later, Simon!" and hightailed it outta there. Now you're left wondering: did I doom the android uprising?!
Relax, fellow gamer. Leaving Simon on the rooftop isn't an automatic death sentence. Think of it like that intense moment in an action movie where the hero makes a daring escape, leaving their buddy to distract the bad guys with a witty one-liner. Except, in this case, the witty one-liner is probably just Simon glaring real hard.
But Wait, There's More! (Maybe)
Here's the thing: Simon's fate after you ditch him depends on what Connor, the RK800 detective with a surprising amount of heart, does later on. If Connor interrogates the androids in the kitchen and then investigates the roof, then say goodbye to Simon. However, if Connor conveniently "misses" the rooftop (hey, gotta prioritize those existential android crises, right?), then there's a chance Simon survives!
How can you tell if Simon made it? Keep your eyes peeled during the "Freedom March" chapter. If you see a glimpse of a familiar mop of brown hair amidst the crowd, then congrats! You've defied the odds and helped Simon fight for android freedom.
The Importance of Not Snitching (on Rooftops)
This whole ordeal is a great lesson in the importance of, well, not snitching. Especially on android comrades hiding out on rooftops. Remember, Connor, discretion is key! Besides, wouldn't it be cooler to have a badass android warrior fighting alongside you in the revolution? Just sayin'.
FAQ: Simon's Rooftop Rendezvous - Edition
How to ensure Simon survives after I leave him? - Make sure Connor does NOT investigate the rooftop during the Stratford Tower chapter.
How do I know if Connor investigated the rooftop? - If you see a short cutscene of Connor finding Simon, then Simon is most likely deceased.
But I accidentally snitched on Simon! Is there any hope? - Nope, sorry. In this playthrough, Simon's story ends here.
Can I go back and save Simon in a previous chapter? Unfortunately, Detroit: Become Human doesn't have a rewind function. The choices you make are permanent (until your next playthrough, of course).
So, leaving Simon is basically a game over for the android revolution? Absolutely not! The revolution marches on, even without Simon. There are plenty of other androids fighting for freedom.
