Notice: This page begins coverage of the first arc of Johnisdead. Johnisdead shares several characters, concepts, and locations with Ben Drowned - a separate ARG created by Alex Hall in 2010. It is recommended that one becomes familiar with Ben Drowned through one of the following methods:
- The first three pages of this story recap, which are dedicated to covering Ben Drowned.
- A summary of Ben Drowned, which can be found on the Story Summary Page.
- An even shorter recap of Ben Drowned, which can be found on the Story Cliffnotes Page.
If you're already familiar with Ben Drowned, continue reading on:
The story so far...
In the previous section, the ARG's creator, Alex, seeming stepped out from behind the curtain and announced that the story was on hiatus. However, during this period that was supposedly meant to be out-of-character, the players noticed several oddities. This culminated in "The Glitch" - an event that corrupted YSHDT.net, allowing the players to access various hidden files. Here, it seemed as though several characters such as Alex were trapped and asking for help.
One of these files was a message from Matt warning that someone named "Kayd Hendricks" was in danger. Kayd was actually Ryukaki - a player who had received the login information for "The Truth" from Rosa before her disappearance. After this, Kayd uploaded several videos to his YouTube channel showing that he was being chased by BEN. At one point, he attempted to hide out in a mysterious location called "The Orchard", though this attempt was short-lived. Unfortunately, the players were unable to save Kayd as he was presumably killed - though not before giving the players a piece of the login information for "The Truth".
After this, Alex teased that the final part of the ARG would coincide with the release of a video game. Unfortunately, this game's development was very troubled and was repeatedly delayed. Eventually, Alex created Within Hubris - a canon message board where the players could cooperate more efficiently. Within Hubris also contained Wayward Horizon - a strange board that seemed to contain the souls of ascended Moon Children. This seems to imply that ascension results in the soul of the participant being trapped within digital environments or technology - much like how Ben was trapped within the Majora's Mask cartridge.
Eventually, the ARG was placed on hiatus once again as Alex moved onto another project - a film titled "Methods of Revolution". After a while, Within Hubris was deleted, forcing the players to create their own version called "Newbris". Over the next few years, all was quiet on Within Hubris. That is, until 2015...
After Within Hubris shut down in 2012, the players spent the next few years creating their own projects on the board's successor - Newbris. For the sake of simplicity, Newbris will simply be referred to as "Within Hubris" throughout these pages. By 2015, most players had given up hope of Alex ever returning to complete Ben Drowned. However, one day, a new user reignited the players' interests.

As soon as Mr. Hall finishes and releases his movie, Methods Of Revolution, he has promised that he will immediately resume working on the ARG.
