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

Difficult to assess without playing, but the presence of a matriarchal race (Sea Reapers) suggests potential for female characters. However, the primary narrative seems to revolve around male characters (Kabuto, Meccs).

About this game

Before man climbed down from the trees to shop in megastores and drink cappuccino, before the Earth wadded itself into a cool blue ball, before the Moon even existed, there was the Island. The Island, a massive fragment of a long-lost planet, hurtling blindly through space.
