NPCs Talk Too  

Hi! I’m Beverly (she/her)! I use the Bechdel Test, NPC spotlights, and feminist game analysis to explore the stories video games tell.

Who gets to speak? Who gets sidelined? How does that shape the story we’re being asked to inhabit?

I use tools like the Bechdel–Wallace Test (often called the Bechdel Test), alongside broader questions about gender, queerness, and narrative weight, to hold video games up to the proverbial light like a leaf and examine their nuance.
