When Simon started college, he met a girl named Sophie, who he became fond of. From the appearance of Simon's bag it is implied that he is a fan of heavy metal music, and from the logo on the back of his hoodie he either has attended concerts, or it is merely miscellaneous detail.

Simon is shown to be an occasional smoker - seen clearly during a smoking scene during gameplay, which might prove the stress he endures. Simon would occasionally take a train to Stockholm and take lonely walks around the city, most likely to help him take his mind off being lonely. It is hinted that Simon's Mother is overprotective as proven by the text messages she sends him throughout the game, likely meaning Simon did not socialize often in his younger years.ĭuring his lifetime, Doctor Purnell states that Simon has lived with mental problems for a long time, which has proven to be anxiety and depression, which Simon claims to be generated by his loneliness (in Simon's words from the IRL trailer he claims that 'Anxiety and Depression controls my life everyday'). Through Simon's introduction quote, he claims that he has felt alone his entire life, which indicates that he felt as though he did not have many friends and lived alone most of the time with the only company coming from his Mother. Nothing is mentioned about his father however, and it is unknown if Simon even met him. Simon grew up in Kirkville his hometown with his Mother.

Simon's life before the events of Cry of Fear is hinted through dialogue and flashbacks. For more information, check out his website. Simon is voiced by Stig 'DragonNOR' Sydtangen, who also voiced the main character in the Half-Life 2: Episode Two horror mod, Grey, in addition to several other projects. It is known that Simon is suffering with depression, with his only friend outside his home appearing to be Sophie, whom he harbours romantic feelings for, which are unfortunately not reciprocated. It is suggested in the game that Simon lives with his mother (the significance of this could be that she helps support him when he visits Doctor Purnell) however, this is not made fully clear and real life cutscenes show him living in a different apartment on his own, and almost no mention is made of a father or other relatives has been made. Little is known about his school or personal life - something his doctor notes as topics Simon refuses to discuss. Simon has been known to self-harm, as indicated by the cuts on his left wrist when the player heals using the morphine syringes in the game.
