Ben Drowned (also known as You Shouldn't Have Done That, Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge, or just by its author's name Jadusable) is a Creepypasta-turned-Alternate Reality Game web series created by writer Alexander D. Hall under the pseudonym of Jadusable, a college student and YouTube user.The story begins with Jadusable posting about how he got a free Majora's Mask cartridge from a strange old man at a garage sale. This sounds about as suspicious as you'd expect. After he gets home and plays it, he notices some odd quirks and strange bugs. After performing the fourth-day glitch, things get... very frightening.The story consists of three arcs — the first can be found here, the second here, and the third here. Also, OOC happenings can be found on numerous pages of the Jadusable wiki; there was formerly a page dedicated entirely to OOC updates, but it has since been deleted.While the first two arcs spanned from September 2010 to July 2011, the third would not begin until March 2020, just a month before Majora's Mask's twentieth anniversary. This arc ran until Halloween 2020, a little over 10 years after the story began, when the story concluded with the release of "The End.wmv". Despite the story being over, Hall confirmed on his Twitter that a new story in the same universe is in the works.On February 28, 2021, "The Epilogue" was uploaded. Described as being of "ambiguous canon", it serves mainly to announce a sequel to the infamous April Fools' Day video "king kong.wmv" for April 1, 2021.Hall himself has a Twitter account set up to answer any questions as well as provide general updates.Should not be confused with when someone has Been Drowned. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Even though the story is really terrifying, the videos are all shot within the engine of Majora's Mask, an E rated game. Surprisingly, at 4:42 in Jadusable.wmv, Link suffers an instant death as a blood splatter appears on the screen. Truth is, Ocarina and Majora both had blood for when you got hit, but was so unrealistic looking (though it was indeed red) that the games got an E-rating anyway. | |

The Artifact | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Majora's Mask elements went on the back burner after the retooled second arc began. The original draft of the game, before Jadusable ran into financial problems, would've kept said elements to the end, however. Come Awakening, they're back. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The first arcs all have a strong paranormal horror vibe to them, but the Awakening arc shifts closer to Science Fiction with the reveals that the "hauntings" were due to scientific experiments with the "digitizing" of human consciousness (something that was already vaguely hinted at during the Moon Children arc). | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Jadusable announced that due to low funds, he would not be making any more chapters of Ben Drowned. Two days later he announced that he had gotten such an overwhelming amount of donations that he would in fact be able to continue after all. And the ARG started back up, working the original announcement about the cancellation into the ARG itself by Breaking the Fourth Wall. It has been implied that The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You. | |

Fallen States of America: According to Jadus in 2018.txt, society collapsed during that time. And if baker.txt is of any indication, it got even worse during the pandemic two years later. Not to mention the Moon Children, who are still running around. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: A common issue in emulated games of Majora's Mask is to have the sun's texture glitch out and show double. In "The Last Hero.wmv", they're used to represent The Father watching Sarah, as they look like an enormous glowing pair of eyes. | |

Our Hero Is Dead | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_2b3937ef | comment |
Our Hero Is Dead: With depressing regularity. Jadusable and Jadus both died on screen, with Alex and Rosa both presumed to have been killed off screen as well. And then in arc 3, Player 2 is killed by the Jailer, and Sarah is killed in-game twice; once by Jadusable, and then after getting revived, she's forced to make a Heroic Sacrifice to fix the world, though it's left ambiguous if she is truly gone for good. | |

| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_31655611 | comment |
Impeded Communication: Jadusable's efforts to communicate his problem to people on the internet are disrupted by BEN, to the point where a good chunk of the posts are full of false information, and things Jadusable said being outright removed, just to mess with Jadusable's head and fool the audience. Actually, he was doing it to work around Kelbris' manipulations of Jad. It backfired specacularly, and the anger he stoked led to Jad unsealing (and attacking) The Father, who ate him for it. | |

The first time the Wayward Horizon forum group was broken into, someone cut off the Welcome Post by Guide to tell us in Binary that we shouldn't be in there, and to GET. OUT. Minutes later, another thread is posted, this one by Kelbris, simply saying "GET OUT" after which the password was changed. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_323f135b | comment |
...The Eternity Project, which turns everything about the story upside down. The Moon Children was nothing more than a lie. The entire thing is just a front to lure people into ascending as an experiment to transcend mortality and escape the real world. The website also reveals the organization is monitoring everyone inside the game, the existence of a multiverse composed of at least six worlds and that even Kelbris was nothing more than a pawn and a victim. One week later, an ad for the Eternity Project was posted on Youtube: the whole cult front was discarded and they're now operating to the public as a business, meaning anyone can pay to be digitized. And details from the current version of their site indicate the Project has become aware of the chaotic happenings and broken state of the Cartridge, which they call "World Alpha", leaving the players a means to "reboot" Sarah. | |

Actor Allusion: "King Kong 2: Return of the King" features Elias Toufexis as the Narrator. With as wholly saturated with memes as the entire video is, it would have been weirder if he didn't say "King Kong never asked for this" at some point. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: In - fittingly - "The End.wmv". BEN is dead, Matt is banished from World Alpha, Ben is finally free from the Elegy statue and now inhabits Young Link's body and the cartridge is restored to its original state thanks to Kelbris, who's been revealed to be Good All Along. However, Jadusable is dead and all the denizens must have their memories wiped clean due to mental trauma, meaning Rosa won't remember Sarah and anything that happened after her arrival. And to end it all, Kelbris removes Sarah and Circle from World Alpha as part of his task to remove anomalies from the simulation, leaving their fates unknown. | |

Hidden in Plain Sight: The denizens of the game's Discord server noticed this trope was in play a few days after THE FATHER.wmv was released. One of the Cleverbot conversations between Jad and BEN in TheTruth.rtf had Jad asking questions about Ben, and phrased in a way that indicated he wasn't talking to BEN at all. | |

Sealed Evil In A Cartridge: BEN. And it's been unsealed alongside with The Father. Except, The Father is only evil because the Moon Children who make up BEN's mind want it to be - it's an administrative AI in charge of the game world, and is being manipulated into allowing them to continuously destroy and reset the world. | |

Escapism: This is what the Eternity Project promises those who want to be digitized: a simulated world free of the problems of our world. In fact, this was the original purpose of World Alpha when the Moon Children got digitized, until it became the Haunted Cartridge when something went wrong - specifically, the Moon Children gaining bits and pieces of control over The Father. | |

A Wizard Did It: The haunted Majora's Mask game is obviously being played on a modern computer and being modified through Gameshark codes instead of a capture from an N64. Understandable, though, since actually modding a Majora's Mask cartridge would take a ridiculously long amount of time and effort. The in-story explanation? BEN did it. | |

My Greatest Failure: Given the vehemance with which he was protesting the uploads of the unaltered version of Jad's gameplay, BEN seems to regard those events as this. The Truth.wmv implies that it was for not being able to explain things to Jad, owing both to his fear of and having to work around Kelbris. | |

Gaslighting | |

Gaslighting: Mentioned in passing in thetruth.rtf. BEN thinks it would have been hilarious to just randomly close a window or move the mouse a little bit occasionally and wait for Jadusable to notice. | |

Point of No Return: After "The Last Hero.wmv" was posted, Alex Hall opened a poll in order for players to decide their next course of action: Continue playing the game and stop The Father or explore the hotel. Said choice will permanently affect the course of the story and the ARG's conclusion. The former option was chosen. | |

Mind Hive: BEN is revealed to be some kind of entity containing the souls of the digitized Moon Children, with five of them being loyal to The Father. Player 2 served as this for the players before his death at the hands of The Jailer. Sarah not only became this for the players, but for Ben and The Father's victims. | |

Big Bad | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_970c790a | comment |
Prior to "The End.wmv", one of the reasons the players decided to reactivate the fourth day glitch was so they could free Ben to help him fight The Father. In retrospect, there was no reason to actually believe this, as every time Ben had gone up against The Father before he hid like a scared child. This should have been obvious proof that Matt's suggestion to perform the glitch didn't make complete sense. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The Nightmare Sequence below retroactively became this in Awakening, alluding both to BEN's origins and to the fact that The Father had gotten into Jad's head. Prior to "The End.wmv", one of the reasons the players decided to reactivate the fourth day glitch was so they could free Ben to help him fight The Father. In retrospect, there was no reason to actually believe this, as every time Ben had gone up against The Father before he hid like a scared child. This should have been obvious proof that Matt's suggestion to perform the glitch didn't make complete sense. Even before that, Matt being able to remember Jadusable and his actions when nobody else could was a sign something fishy was going on. The players, and thus Sarah, didn't catch on until it was far too late. | |

Get Out!: The first time the Wayward Horizon forum group was broken into, someone cut off the Welcome Post by Guide to tell us in Binary that we shouldn't be in there, and to GET. OUT. Minutes later, another thread is posted, this one by Kelbris, simply saying "GET OUT" after which the password was changed. After the Methods of Revolution's website opened, Drowned's page simply displayed GET OUT NOW before The Prisoner.wmv was posted. | |

Eye Scream: "My eyes... they took... my eyes." It was originally thought this was being said by Kelbris, but images of him as the Father seem to show that he was the one who did the taking. Though given the Father's eyes it's very likely that he did have his eyes taken, and then took some replacements. | |

Rosa suffered the same fate when she got digitized, forced to relieve the First Day for a decade until Sarah came and saved her. And way before that, it's implied that one of the Elegy statues Sarah meets in The Truth.wmv alongside Ben was her. | |

Omnicidal Maniac | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_b1619b3c | comment |
The End.wmv: Matt HUBRIS is the Omnicidal Maniac Big Bad, having manipulated Sarah and the Players alike into releasing the seals keeping him from accessing The Father, who is actually the AI controlling World Alpha. Jadusable was trying to stop him. And The Father isn't a god of destruction within the game world as the Moon Children believe, but simply a reflexive program that does whatever it thinks people want it to do. When told to fix the cartridge, it does so, but in order to do this it must delete all anomalies from the cartridge (which includes Sarah and Circle as they are currently out of bounds) and reset everyone's memories to before anything happened, meaning the inhabitants of the cartridge will forget all about Sarah and everything she did. | |

Un-Cancelled: Jadusable announced that due to low funds, he would not be making any more chapters of Ben Drowned. Two days later he announced that he had gotten such an overwhelming amount of donations that he would in fact be able to continue after all. And the ARG started back up, working the original announcement about the cancellation into the ARG itself by Breaking the Fourth Wall. It has been implied that The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You. The Awakening Arc is this, as well, picking the game up nearly a decade later. | |

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Played for Laughs during king kong.wmv when Jadusable's impromptu music video is interrupted by the appearance of another BEN save file... whereupon he promptly deletes it, makes a new file named SWAGGGGG and carries on dancing. Played much, much more seriously during THE FATHER.wmv. Jad ignores the fact that BEN is suddenly pleading with him to stop playing, stop digging, even going so far as to delete the files where BEN pleads. It ends with Jad awakening The Father, the real Sealed Evil in a Can, who promptly kills him for it. | |

Recap Episode: During the Awakening arc, a file titled TheRealTruth.rtf was published in the Methods of Revolution website. It is essentially a compiled recap of the Haunted Cartridge arc, containing all of Jadusable's video summaries alongside TheTruth.rtf. However, it contains major differences compared to what Jadusable posted in 2010: all mentions of Ben are renamed to BEN, and a new entry written by BEN (or rather, the in-game Moon Children that were part of BEN) was added to the document, revealing that he tampered with TheTruth.rtf years ago. | |

Shout-Out: The name on Ifrit/Matt's Gmail account was "Matt HUBRIS", the capitalization on the name possibly being a subtle shout out to Everyman HYBRID. There seem to be a few for either adaptation of The Shining. The whole "Link Statue following you" thing seems to be based on the hedge animals that follow that story's protagonist, Danny. Then there's the line "Come play with us..." Weeping Angels are also referenced. | |

Dead Person Conversation | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_e1fa8421 | comment |
Dead Person Conversation: Possible subversion. At first you think the chat messages with BEN are this, but then it turns out BEN may not be, well, BEN, after all. Also possibly played straight, since at least one of the chats seems to have been with The Father/Kelbris, who's been confirmed to be dead, instead of BEN. | |

| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: An interesting case of integrating Majora's Mask's base game mechanics with the narrative; during "The Prisoner.wmv", the Moon Children summon a Gomess to fight Sarah. Since she doesn't have the light arrows, Link is incapable of defeating it. It's only after she flees and finds Rosa - who grants her the light arrows - that Link can fight back against it. | |

Powered by a Forsaken Child | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_e794cb54 | comment |
Powered by a Forsaken Child: It's implied that BEN is the spirit of a boy who fell in with the Moon Children cult and drowned himself for the purpose of "ascension". Somehow Ben's spirit got trapped in in the Majora's Mask game cartridge, and he wants out. At the end of Arc 1, he seemingly succeeded. Arc 3 revealed that, no, he didn't actually get out, and was locked in the cartridge still. | |

Mistaken for Evidence | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_e8cf794b | comment |
Mistaken for Evidence: No, Cleverbot is not important. Nor is this, if Jadusable's youtube channel is a reliable source. Or not... Word of God says any information that isn't found here or here is not to be accepted as clues or evidence. Theories are welcome, but nothing outside of those two locations is to be taken as official (presumably with the exception of the Ryukaki arc). | |

April Fools' Day: king kong.wmv. Subverted with "king.txt". Despite the name being a reference to king kong.wmv, it has nothing do to with that video. Instead it's another video with Jadus. A sequel to "king kong.wmv" titled "The Return of the King" is set to premiere on April Fools Day 2021. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Ben Drowned (Web Video) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: The Final Hours.wmv shows how things went from bad to worse: Sarah lost the Adult Link Mask, she failed to stop the remaining in-game Moon Children and collect their Heart Pieces, she's trapped inside Clock Town, most of the digitized denizens are dead, the Pendant of Memories is next to useless, The Father is almost regaining his full power, Matt is still missing, Jadusable has been corrupted, BEN is still around, the surviving denizens plus Rosa have no idea what to do and, whatever happens after the poll, the players are left with a decision that can drastically change the course of the story and affect the Haunted Cartridge. And then it turns out, the glitch was what the Moon Children wanted all along. | |

"Methods of Revolution [The Truth.wmv]" and "The Last Hero.wmv" both follow on from The Truth.wmv. The former sees Able reveal the nature of the Moon Children's Ascension, and reveals that Ben was the first to undergo the process. The latter explains a bit more on Ben's backstory, revealing that he was a boy who just wanted to be his favorite video game character, only to be trapped in the Elegy statue until Jad executing the Fourth Day glitch set him loose. And even while Sarah is learning this, The Father's started making his move to stop her. | |
