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 (e.g., Empress Lena, Elara, Mistress Kael, and a potentially female player character), they primarily interact with the player, and there are no clear instances of two female NPC characters directly interacting with each other in a shared scene or dialogue.
