1010 Remedy's own promotion describes Arish through the time he lost. A short video the studio published on September 15, 2026 carries the caption "7 long years locked inside the Oldest House has changed Simon Arish". Resonant itself is set roughly seven years after the first game. As of September 27, 2026, the official site has no character profile for him; it profiles only Dylan, Jesse and Zoe.

1414 Guides to the released game describe Arish's first appearance in the main quest Evacuation Procedures. The FBC's Evac Site in the Evacuation Zone has been overrun, and Hiss tremors are coming from the building. Dylan fights his way into the Evac Building, finds Arish alive inside and has to get him out. Arish hands Dylan a Level 2 keycard, which raises his security clearance and opens the doors that need it.

16-The next main quest, Arish's Briefing, takes place back at the FBC Field Office in Central. The tremors could not be stopped at the evacuation site, and Arish sets out a plan for dealing with them. The briefing opens two main quests, Power Lines and Into the Sinkhole, which can be played in either order. In Power Lines, a maintenance team sent to reroute power through the subway stations has disappeared, and Arish wants Dylan to finish the job. The wider quest structure is on the Quests page, and the enemies behind the tremors are covered on The Hiss.
