5 stars game. Wished I could rate it 6 though. Really impressive game.
What got me was the polishing on the UI, everything is so smooth. I'm totally using it in the future as a UI reference
I wonder, did you implement weighted randomness to force the player to use other mechanics? if you didn't, I think it would be a good addition.
Ex: if both parents have blue eyes and A- blood type, make it more likely to add babies with blue eyes AND A-.
This way the player will have to rely on other mechanics to choose the right baby

Jinxed - Cat CaféThanks for kind words! Currently difficulty system works like this: generates two absolutely random parents, than makes a baby based on those parens, than generates random babies, and for each random baby game checks that at least one parameter will be different from correct one. You suggested adjustement to it is totally correct, I guess I will do like that in the future development.
The game art is beautiful! My wife just kept laughing as I struggled to get the kids to their parents. They were so cute and even if i did somthing wrong, nothing can't go wrong, right????

Nhong bee CarGame looks and plays great
The baby sounds are adorable when you switch from baby to baby
The way the difficulty slowly ramps up over time is nicely balanced, great game all together!

Spool's PlightVery clean game, the art is super polished, love it <3
The gameplay is easy, but it is really enjoyable as you can fail if you try to go too fast. But really good job for a jam man, impressive!! Keep pushing forward.

The Walk of GraceNice game! I'm impressed that this was made in 1 week! The take on papers please is super fun to play around with.

The Witch DoctorFun, polished, great pacing, predictable but still enriching storyline. - I matched most babies using eye color, then hair, then freckles. The rest didn't seem to make much of a difference. Being under time pressure was a bit stressful, but also added some fun.

Corpse WalkThis is really well made! How you've done this much in one week is beyond me, and I am really impressed with everything in this game. The polishing, the artwork, the storyline, the elements, all of them are top-notch. This is easily one of the best games in this jam! Well done!
The game is so good that there isn't much to criticise, but I'd say the game is a bit too easy, especially when it unlocks blood type. For me, most of the time I am just judging by blood type and eye colour alone, and that's likely enough 99% of the cases. It feels like the other mechanics were wasted potential in my opinion. I would also think the ending is a bit rushed, given that it just tells you the government was overthrown without much explanation. Probably, this is too much to ask given the time constraints.
Anyway, this is a very good entry to the jam! Well done!
Great job for a 7 day game! The artstyle is very well done and the overall game fits the Papers Please vibe perfectly with the option to stray from the path and follow the mysterious letters.
