doing what the game wants you to do is punishing as shit. What you have to do is stay on a specific camera on a specific time and if you miss him then you have to restart the whole night again until you get it right, now on paper it doesn't sound that bad... but you also need to remember that each night is 10MINS LONG. So guess what? if you miss Simon then you have to go all the way back to the start of the night and begin again. This goes on for 6 nights all while Popgoes and his buddy's are fast and won't let you have a breather which will lead to frustration and feel discouraged to even keep going.

And to add on the importance of the fact that each night is 10min's long, there are 6 nights with each night going on for 10mins, if we do some math here:

10X6 = 60mins/ 1 hour(+ if your shit at the game like me lol), this is the math for a single playthrough alone and haven't done Simon at all. Well if you beat the game and want to do Simon's quest then this is what the math looks like:

2x60 = 120mins/ 2 hours(+ again if you die on any of the runs).

Mind you, none of this takes into account you playing the minigames (fuck them btw) but this is the lowest your gonna have to spend in this game for two endings alone. This is ridiculous and I find this rather convoluted as to why it's the way it is, for the recorded if you only do Simon's quest then you'll unlock everything like you would normally (I think) but that is still an hour long for a ending that's last a minute . It's a chore and just not worth going through the struggle when you can just watch it on Youtube which is not a good thing no matter how old the game is, I understand that this game was released in 2016 and for what it's worth it's very ambitious as well as creative for a way to unlock an ending with a game that for the most part still plays okay (even after all I've said and the minigames being boring).

I just want to say this rn before anyone gets any ideas, I don't hate Popgoes at all and I even bought Popgoes arcade when it came out (good game btw), I just don't think this part of the original game was executed at all and the fact that the game goes on for so long didn't help it's case at all. If there is one wish I want for evergreen it's that if your gonna keep the way you unlock Simon's ending, please don't make the nights go on for 10mins, this imo isn't a good way of padding out your game, you want the player to feel satisfaction and proud of going the extra mile, not make them want to end the game quicker because they spent way to long with the game then it's worth. That's my advise to not just Evergreen but to everyone else, add things that work for the games purpose and not something for the shits and giggles (unless it's a easter egg or a shitpost or something lol), alright I'm done have a good one.
