Theres a data persisting system that will persist data in different scopes (e.g. room, level, run, game, permanent) that everything else uses. For example the achievement system looks at a certain category and a trigger (which is a key that the data in the persister is set under) so that whenever data is added to that trigger it sees if its higher than the amount needing to unlock the achievement (and if so unlocks it). The persister is decoupled from everything else by sending signals and then everything that wants to look at what data is set can (this would be the achievements, the unlock system, the dialogue system to see which dialogue is unlocked, etc.)
