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.— N/A — no named characters
The game is a city builder simulation and does not feature significant character interactions or dialogue that would allow for a meaningful application of the Bechdel test.
