Audit Choice Quality

Audit the decision the player experiences, not only the text of the options.

A choice can be meaningful without creating a separate storyline. Conversely, a large branch can still feel meaningless if the player's intention is unclear or the game does not acknowledge it.

Core Dimensions

Decision clarity

What question does the player believe they are answering?

Intention differentiation

Do options express meaningfully different intentions, strategies, identities, or relationship positions?

Information fairness

Does the player know enough to make the type of decision being presented?

Tradeoff quality

What is gained and lost by each option?
