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

Game features two protagonists, one male (Grimm) and one female (Rose). As a single-player RPG, direct conversations between two female characters about something other than a man are not explicitly detailed in the description, making it difficult to assess without playing.
