Representation?How diverse the game's characters are in gender and ethnicity. Higher = more authentic representation. Display only — does not affect time recommendation.
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 several named female characters like Lupita, Tostada, and X'tabay, they do not have a direct, sustained interaction with each other that isn't primarily about a male character (Juan Aguacate or Carlos Calaca).
