Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.Fails the test

While the game features prominent female characters like Leah and Adria who interact frequently, their interactions are primarily driven by Adria's manipulation of Leah to serve as the vessel for the male antagonist, Diablo, making the male character the ultimate subject of their discussions.
