#through gauntlet

Small warning for my toby fans, my toby will not have tourettes syndrome, but rather ocd. I am chosing this, not out of a lack of confidence to represent tourettes syndrome, but rather because i feel those tourettes syndrome + CIPA, opens a large door for comorbidities. For those who do not know, I'm a licensed medical professional, and i take accurate representation very seriously. While looking into the realistic experience of having CIPA as well as those having tourettes, it is MUCH MUCH more then just having tics and not feeling pain. Sensory input, intrusive thoughts, impulsive thoughts, mood swings, temperature dysregulation and corneal ulcers are just the tip of the iceburg. For that reason my Toby will have CIPA and OCD, as OCD still keeps thr core behaviors of what make toby "weird" (repetitive stims, vocalizations, compulsive words and actions) as well as i get to put more focus into the physical representation of CIPA and how it can affect people who make it to adulthood. (which is rare enough on its own)

Breaking my aesthetic mysteriousness to give an actual introduction and such so everyone gets an idea of what i am actually doing here! Hello! My names @lifesanenigma though Enigma just works fine! Through Gauntlet is planned to be an interactive fiction piece, ideally a visual novel in time, where YOU!!! the reader, have been abducted and find yourself lost in the middle of Yellowstone national park, amongst others fighting to survive and learn more about your mysterious captors (the creepypastas lmao) Currently the team is just me, however i'm hoping to receive help from a friend and maybe make an actual team as i have a real passion for horror and visual novels! Any and all feedback about my writing and such is welcomed and i hope y'all enjoy the journey and my weird antics!
