Professor Layton and the Curious Village[]

Professor Layton and Luke meet Simon at Reinhold Manor. He recommends, along with Gordon, that they should go after Claudia.

After Layton and Luke's search for Claudia, Simon is found dead, with a wooden cog found by Matthew at the scene of the crime. Inspector Chelmey comes to investigate the matter, and initially holds Layton and Luke as suspects, but lets them go. He continues to 'investigate' while Layton and Luke search for leads on the Golden Apple.

After Layton and Luke find the key to the tower, they are called to Reinhold Manor, where Chelmey accuses Layton of murdering Simon. He claims the killer, Layton, struck Simon with a vase covered in Layton's fingerprints, but through clever logic and mistakes 'Chelmey' makes, Layton proves his innocence and discovers that Chelmey is really Don Paolo in disguise. One particular fact was how the drawbridge got lifted before Simon was discovered dead, so Chelmey couldn't have arrived for this case nor have Simon taken out of the village.

Near the end of the game, it's revealed that Simon, along with everyone else in St. Mystere, is a robot. Because of this, it turns out Simon didn't really die, he simply malfunctioned. Don Paolo took an interest in him and hid him somewhere in an attempt to study him later. In the middle of Don Paolo's final battle, the bag containing Simon dropped from his helicopter. During the credits, Bruno (the one responsible for the drawbridge) is shown repairing Simon, and another scene shows Ramon's surprise at Simon's apparent survival, while Simon wonders what he is talking about. Ironically, something similar happened with Ramon when everyone believed he disappeared.

Puzzles[]

Even though Simon "dies" during the course of the game, he still gives the player at least one puzzle. He gives the professor the puzzle "Arc and Line".
