* *[[Quest]]* *Quests* - a "quest" or "questline" is basically a software-mediated storyline
** progress on a quest is indicated by "quality"
*** advancing in the quest raises the quality, which locks all previous events in the quest out of sight and unlocks further advancement in the quest.
* *[[Quality]]* - an integer attribute *Qualities* aka attributes
* *[[Card]]* - a choice *** e.g. having quality "Mystery of the Character (or Player, really) can make Pie-Shop" = 3 gives the player access to the 3rd "card" in the Mystery of the Pie-Shop questline
