QTads is a cross-platform, multimedia interpreter for TADS games. It is fully compatible with HTML TADS (aka "Multimedia TADS.") Both TADS versions in use today (v2 and v3) are supported. It runs on Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows.

TADS stands for "Text Adventure Development System" and comes with its own programming language and virtual machine (the TADS VM.) QTads uses the reference implementations of the T2 and T3 VMs written by Michael J. Roberts.
