Revision as of 19:03, 18 September 2025
The story so far...
In the previous section, the players had lost contact with their Link, Tyler. Thankfully, Drowned helped them regain access to Lunarchidlren.com. Here, they discovered that the site had been completely revamped and now featured posts from a new Lunar Child, Liquidsaint, who was presumably the same "Saint" who constructed Regiminis's "Portal". Strangely, Liquidsaint had many mannerisms that were similar to SKM...
Liquidsaint shared more footage of the Blood Moon Ritual, which featured Matt sacrificing a fellow cultist while communicating with Patrem. During this video, Tenebris began speaking as he questioned Patrem's authority and claimed that he himself was the "True Father". Shortly after this, the Internet Detectives discovered that their fellow player, Zack Nelson, was indeed canon. Unfortunately, before they could learn more, it was revealed that Zack had died and was presumably ascended.
Meanwhile, back on Johnisdead.com, the players discovered a large maze of inter-connected pages - something that they would later dub as a "Hole". This Hole cryptic imagery relating to many different characters, including a mysterious "D" that the players are supposedly familiar with, a woman whose name is only partially revealed as "___n_", and The Four Giants.
Based off of the characters of the same name from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, these Four Giants seemed to be four powerful grotesque entities. The First Giant was associated with swamps and forestry. He was only depicted as a smiling, distorted face. The Second Giant is associated with mountains and was represented by a disturbing pig-like entity. The Third Giant is associated to the sea and is depicted as a fish-like entity. The Fourth Giant is associated with valleys or canyons and is actually revealed to be Kelbris.
When they finally reached the end of the Hole, the players discovered a threatening message from a glasses-earing entity directed at Tyler in the form of "alwayswatchingyou.wmv". The players are still desperately trying to find a way to keep Tyler safe as their enemies continue growing in strength and number...

Story
On June 28th, 2015, the players were still analyzing the contents of "alwayswatchingyou.wmv". Suddenly, John's Skype account became active, joining one of the player's calls:
((Text begins appearing on John's screen:))
"A new chapter begins"
((The song "@90" by K3v1n begins playing.))
"Run Tyler."
"Show me."
((Footage of someone running down a street begins playing on John's screen.))
"Tyler is-"
After this, a timer appeared on John's screen - the same timer that was seen in the video "alwayswatchingyou.wmv". The players only had about four minutes and forty seconds to act. Fearing the worst, they ultimately decided to submit the "Song of Inverted Time" - a song from Majora's Mask that slows the passage of time. This seemed to work, stopping the timer around the two minute mark.
Shortly after this, Johnisdead.com updated. The front page now featured "FoggyWorld223.jpg" - an image similar to the on that appeared on its front page originally. It was also titled "TIME", implying that the players' submission had something to do with this change...


On June 30th, 2015, Johnisdead.com underwent several more updates. First, Key592 briefly updated with "heistryingtohide.gif" - an image of a young boy wearing a gas mask. Shortly after this, the front page updated. Now titled "mymasks", the page featured a distorted image of John's eye with Tyler's face in its pupil. This was accompanied with a distorted version of the "Song of Unhealing" titled "t.mp3" and the text "Every game has rules, he chose this game when he chose the boy.".
"The boy" in question is very likely referring to Ben - the innocent, drowned child who was used by BEN back in 2010. At this point, the parallels between Tenebris, BEN, and Mr. D were becoming impossible to ignore... However, the players still lacked many important details, so they pressed on.
While the above was taking place, several users on Reddit had stumbled across Johnisdead and began asking questions. The Internet Detectives quickly noticed this and arrived to welcome newcomers to the ARG. However, shortly after this, an account simply named "TLink" appeared and made a new thread titled "donttrusttheinternetdetectives". This was clearly Tenebris attempting to smear the players' names to keep them from gaining new members.
Interestingly, Tenebris's post also contained a link to a new page - "https://johnisdead.com/listen". This page was titled "trustme" and contained two distorted images of Tenebris - "Bentlres.jpg" and "assimilating.gif" - as well as the distorted sounds of a fire.
Key592 underwent a few more changes after this. These included the addition of the files "number.txt" and "gate.txt", which contained John's old cellphone number and a link to the Internet Detectives Discord server respectively. When the players would call John's phone number, they were met only with the "Song of Unhealing" and distorted whispering.
All of this seemed to imply that Tenebris now held more control over John's spirit than ever before.
On July 2nd, 2015, the player ADULT_LINK found an unexpected traveler on JanusVR - Zack Nelson - a former Internet Detective who had just recently been killed and ascended. Now going by the name Gizemo, Zack Nelson and the players partake in a surprisingly casual conversation.
lol hi
Still don't think my house is presentable
Interestingly, Zack claims that he has his own home... Something that's quite peculiar given his status as an ascended spirit.
It builds my new world
That sounds like it could get tedious at times tho
It's a bit strange seeing most of it in code though
You seem to be taking the whole "living in the internet" thing pretty well tho
I mean, i doubt it's ideal but you dont seem to be Completely terrified or anything
I've gotten use to it...
It seems as though Zack has already adapted to his ascended state fairly well - so much so that he's able to browse the internet via its code and use it to build his "new world" - presumably referring to his home.
After this, Zack begins explaining more of what exactly happened to him after he ascended:
It always redirected me here
I couldn't take it...
You have any idea why?
something written in javascript
It just kept me from going anywhere
It trapped me
With some help from a friend...
You know him
is it SKM?
He saw me, struggling...
He hacked into Decoy
And removed the script
That's all it took
After he was ascended, Zack's spirit was trapped within a strange website - Decoy.link. This site had a script on it that prevented him from leaving, trapping him there. However, he was eventually rescued by SKM, who deleted the script, allowing Zack to freely explore the internet.
As for Decoy.link itself, not much is known about this website. Unfortunately, very little of its contents were archived. From what was saved, we can deduce that it was once a website that belonged to a strange company called "WireTalk". The website itself took on the appearance of a simple blog. However, it seemed to be heavily corrupted and contained very little content.


Decoy.link also had a Janus Room. However, this, too, was fairly bare-bones, featuring only a small black room - presumably the location where Zack's spirit was trapped...
SKM said he will help me with the domain
Let me show ya something
((Zack links the players to another new website - Lurch.co.))
Before I had control... jumping here helped
It gave me something to do
It was all I can do
I have control over that domain for now
I really don't know why it existed in the first place...
OH
He did it
He got me the domain
The other one
He said smaller domains are more useful for me
Zack explains that when he was still struggling to escape Decoy.link, he would occasionally hide inside another website - Lurch.co. This website was completely empty, containing only a small, dark Janus room. He also reveals that SKM has given him control of the Decoy.link domain. During the middle of this conversation, he also realizes that he's since been given control of Lurch.co as well.
Now that he has control of Lurch.co, Zack begins editing the Janus Room in real time, adding a small light in the middle of the room.
this is cool
whats this green light?
I need some light :P
Yeah, as you can see, it's incomplete though
Needs some work
I have to disconnect for the night
The players say farewell to Zack as he leaves to work more on his new virtual home.
On July 5th, 2015, Key592 updated with a text file titled "ILLUSION.txt", which was filled with countless iterations of the word "LIES". However, there were several misplaced letters that spelled out "TRUTH". Shortly afterwards, the front page of the site updated with a distorted image of Tenebris and a corrupted video of John titled "TL.webm".


Later that night, the player Sengi discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com now featured its own Janus Room that featured an incomplete red-colored house. Unfortunately, this Janus Room was removed before the players could explore it fully. It's possible that this was Zack's incomplete home...


On July 8th, 2015, players discovered that Fakeworld had updated. The small, corrupted room that the players were trapped in now had a doorway. This led to a large, distorted landscape that was painted in a corrupted, purple texture. This landscape featured some hills, a valley, and what seemed to be a large building of sorts.
On July 12th, 2015, after many weeks of silence, Tyler finally uploaded a new video to Silentdork - "Bored and had a weird dream".
Description
Everything has been sorted out since the incident with the masked person who invaded my property. Ill be moving in with my girlfriend at the end of the year, which means Ill be leaving the country so I can say goodbye to anymore locale stalkers. But for now life is pretty boring, so until then Ill just use this channel to vlog about things whenever anything worth bullshitting about comes to mind. (On a side note, I really need to get a new phone. Its been fucking up forever but now that I see the way the video recorded I know its probably on its last leg.)

The video begins with Tyler recording himself using his cell phone. He is seen lying on his bed. He is wearing a beanie with a skull on it.
Tyler: "Hey, world. I've been really bored recently. Hasn't been a lot to do, there's just been... Work and home, and home and work, and work and home... And so I thought I'd make a video - just an update about my life. Not a lot's been going on recently. It's been boring. Well, aside from communication with, um, Carla. We don't communicate on Skype-"
The audio stutters and cuts at this point.
Tyler: "-use, actually she's really obsessed with, uh, anonymity... Which is cool, actually, I should- I probably should be, too. So, uh, we're using this client called Linphone- (Coughs) -to talk back and forth. That's just to the, uh, the people who see this video - assuming that they're still, uh... closely watching my Skype as it seemed that they were before. They'll... (Coughs) ...understand the main reason why I haven't gone on Skype... And because you're all fucking batshit insane. (That)'s a real piece of fucking work... Uh, joke website you made, though, uh... 'Johnisdead.com'. (Coughs) That's real fucking funny. I see you guys update it though every now and then for, uh, whatever reason. I went back and looked again recently and, uh- (Coughs) There's just a solid red page... With a... Sort of a repeating piano chord. I dunno, maybe I just don't get the fucking joke because I'm not on the inside. (Coughs)"
Tyler coughs as the video stutters once again. An image of a green face with static eyes, 'mask1iswatching.webm', briefly appears on screen a few times. The final time, the word 'ME' is written below the image.
Tyler: "Ugh, got a really fucking bad cough today. Um... Yeah. I'm making a video because I'm fucking bored as hell. I had a really weird dream last night, actually. Guess that's something to talk about. Had this dream, uh... Somebody was knocking on my door... And whenever I started to get close to the door, for some reason the door- the door started to turn green..."
After Tyler says this, the video cuts to black for a couple of seconds.
Tyler: "Just as I was opening the door I heard a voice... (Coughs) Heard a voice say, 'It's not time for that'."
As Tyler repeats what he heard the voice say, a strange noise can be heard in the background. A strange looking filter covers the footage before quickly turning back to normal.
Tyler: "But, uh... So I open the door, and when I open the door I was immediately greeted by the forest."
When Tyler says 'forest', two images faintly flash on screen. One appears to be an image of a forest - the most noticeable detail being a branch coming out of the frame. The second is difficult to make out, though it seems to be a face grinning at the camera.
Tyler: "There's a big-ass forest surrounding where I live... Not too big, but it's pretty big. So... Then... Something was telling me I needed to go into the woods. So I went into the woods and I went down the path past John's house... And-"
The video freezes and stutters once again. The footage glitches out.
Tyler: "-It was on fire... Which, I mean... Yeah... I-I know why that would be in the dream, but I mean... And then, uh, I got to this... old, rundown building. It was- Kinda looked like, um- cause we have a lot of them around here- Kinda looked like a, uh, a fishery-"
The video stutters once more when Tyler says 'fishery'.
Tyler: "-breed fish, 'cause they're too lazy to go fucking catch them. But, uh... Yeah, it looked like a fishery, and it was real, real rundown, it looked like, uh... The most distinct thing I remember was that roof in one area of it had caved in... Kinda looked like the main area had like a caved in roof. But, uh... When I got there, there-"
The video seems to have been edited here, as Tyler is cut off.
Tyler: "...And there was, uh... A big-"
The video cuts once again.
Tyler: "-Guy... And like there's these people that had masks. There was these three other people-"
Another video cut.
Tyler: "-All pounding... Like, it- (Sigh) There was just a ton of shit going on, like there was- there were the green- four green guys, and... The robed dude... And... A big-ass fucking red dude, and then there was like... a smaller red guy that was on fire. And... there was like this big fucking thing in the sky smiling at me and shit. It was just... coming down slowly. Just looking at me, coming down slowly... And, uh-"
Another video cut.
Tyler: "(After) that, there was a bunch of old-"
Another video cut.
Tyler: "-They fucking grabbed me up... And sat me down in this-"
Another video cut.
Tyler: "-And... all of a sudden... I just heard someone screaming eleven... eleven, eleven, eleven, and eleven over and over-"
The video stutters and cuts. Each time Tyler says eleven, the audio gets more and more distorted.
Tyler: "I don't know... I remember it felt like my legs were being shocked... And then one of the green guys came-"
Another video cut.
Tyler: "-screaming about something, and they all got together... All four of the green guys grabbed the smiling thing... As it came down. They grabbed it- It was about to just land on my ass. As I looked up, they grabbed it. Then I woke up. So yeah, I guess that's pretty interesting. I don't know what it means, though."
Summary
- Tyler claims that his life has been mostly uneventful lately. He's still planning on moving in with Carla in Australia near the end of the year.
- Tyler notes that Carla is very interested in anonymity. Because of this, the two have begun using an alternative to Skype called Linphone.
- Tyler still believes that the players are crazy and are the ones responsible for creating Johnisdead.com.
- Whenever Tyler visits Johnisdead.com, all he sees a red page with a piano chord.
- Tyler describes a strange dream he had:
- Someone was knocking on Tyler's door. Whenever he would approach the door, it would turn green.
- Tyler heard a voice saying "It's not time for that".
- Tyler opened the door to find it led into the woods surrounding his home.
- Tyler walked through the woods down a path that led past John's house, which was on fire.
- Tyler came across the Fishery, where he saw a large person, many people wearing masks, and three separate people.
- Tyler also saw four green people, a man in a robe, a red person, a smaller red person who was on fire, and a large, smiling thing in the sky that was descending.
- Tyler claims that he was picked up and sat down on something as many people shouted "eleven" repeatedly.
- Tyler says he felt himself being electrocuted as the four green people from earlier grabbed the smiling, descending object in the sky.
- This video contains many glitches, implying that Tyler's cellphone is still somewhat corrupted.
Thankfully, Tyler seems to be perfectly fine. He claims that things have been fairly normal and that his plans to move to live with Carla near the end of the year are progressing smoothly. He also notes that Carla has become more obsessed with anonymity, resulting in the two of them moving their communications to a Skype alternative called Linphone.
Tyler comments on Johnisdead.com, which he still believes is a cruel joke that the players themselves created. Strangely, the claims that whenever he attempts to visit the website, he sees a red page with a piano chord - something that seems to be unique for him, as no other players have seen this page.
Tyler begins describing a strange dream that he had:
The dream began with Tyler in his home. He heard someone knocking on his door. Strangely, whenever he would approach this door, it would turn green - not too unlike the depiction of The Four Giants found on Johnidead.com. Tyler heard a voice tell him "It's not time for that" - the same text that appeared in the video "alwayswatchingyou.wmv".
When Tyler opened the door, he found that it led to the woods outside his home. Here, he progressed down a path that led past John's burning home. He continued along this path until he stumbled upon the Fishery, despite him supposedly having never visited it before. Here, he saw many strange individuals. These included the following:
- A large person
- Many masked individuals
- Three separate people
- Four green people (Possibly The Four Giants)
- A robed man
- A red person (Possibly Regiminis)
- A smaller red person engulfed in flames (Possibly John)
- A large smiling object in the sky (Possibly Luna / The moon)
It's possible that the identities of some of the figures listed above overlap - both due to the vague nature of this dream and also the fact that Tyler's upload was somewhat corrupted, interrupting his explanation at several points. Regardless, several of these figures seem to describe various characters in the ARG.
At some point, Tyler encounters "a bunch of old" individuals. However, his explanation glitches out, cutting him off. Afterwards, he is sat down on something as the various masked individuals surrounding him begin repeatedly chanting "Eleven" - a reference to Undecim Nocte. After this, Tyler feels as though he's electrocuted as the large, Luna-esque entity begins descending towards him. The Four Giants then reach up and grab the moon as Tyler wakes up.
The contents of this dream are a bit of a mystery. However, it can safely be assumed that Tyler was receiving a prophetic dream or warning about a potential Lunar Child ritual that will be taking place on the next Undecim Nocte - November 11th, 2015. This is possibly the date that the Lunar Children are hoping to sacrifice Tyler on...
As if in response, Johnisdead.com updated on July 13th, 2015 with the message "seeyou" and the image "TIME.jpg", featuring a distorted silhouette of Tyler and text that read "It's not time yet".


On July 20th, 2015, Johnisdead.com updated once again. The page was now titled "thetimeisnear" and contained a strange image of an eye titled "v.gif".


However, upon examining this page's source code, players discovered something interesting - a YouTube link. This led players to a new YouTube channel - one belonging to none other than Vincent Adams. Interestingly, this channel's avatar was the Egyptian "Eye of Horus".


The YouTube link in question brought players to an unlisted video that was uploaded back on January 11th, 2015 titled "3Song inspired by sleep deprivation (hardcore techno music)".

Description
-=- feedback would be cool

This video is simply a techno song created by Vincent Adams with text that reads:
"my song inspired by sleep deprivation"
Summary
- This video simply featured a song that was supposedly being composed by Vincent.
The video above seems to be a casual upload from Vincent. The text on-screen implies that he's suffering from sleep deprivation - likely due to Patrem's influence inside his body... The video's tags also imply that this has put in him quite a miserable state.
Shortly after this find, John's Skype account became active and sent the message "1Helpme". This led to the players checking Johnisdead.com, only to discover that it had undergone a rather large update. The site now featured countless Redirect Pages - a page that players would be randomly redirected to whenever they attempted to access a non-existent pages. The existence of these pages punished players for incorrectly guessing the URL of hidden pages. However, they also all featured interesting files of their own...
