The Inner Threshold

The Inner Threshold is a low-demand, zero-pressure solo journaling RPG built to help neurodivergent women (specfically AuDHD) break through task paralysis, demand avoidance, and perfectionist freeze.

Instead of forcing you to work directly on your real-world project (which often triggers survival-based panic and executive friction) the game decouples your progress into a safe metaphoric container: The Sanctuary of the Frozen Engine. 

Using a standard 78-card Tarot deck, you navigate daily micro-prompts to restore the engine's gears, clearing mental friction at a safe distance.

How It Helps

•  Instead of telling yourself "I have to write a whole paper," you trick your brain by saying "I just need to flip one card and write three words." Making the job tiny stops your brain from panicking.

• When you have AuDHD, you might feel like making a mistake means people won't like you. The game reminds you that your value as a person never changes, no matter how much work you get done.

• Your energy changes depending on where you are in your monthly cycle. The game automatically makes tasks easier on low-energy days and saves harder tasks for when you have lots of focus.

• Starting a project is hard on your brain. The game chooses the first step for you so you don't waste all your energy just deciding where to begin.

Note: Donantions will be used to upgrade and improve the game. I'm aiming for art cards first.
