Some compliments and critiques:

  • The idea of matching babies to kids is an interesting twist on Papers, Please! and can really be taken into interesting directions--the genetics described aren't accurate to real life already (e.g. 50% on skintone and hair), so you could add some fantasy/biopunk stuff if you decided to expand on the concept.
  • I love the extra creepy factor about placing children with parents. There's some reeeeeeally fun and messed up story stuff you can go with there if you develop this.
  • I dislike the "light the baby you want to select" mechanic. I have a hard time matching skin tones when vastly different light levels are used. It's also harder to scan eye colors between babies and parents to compare them--even if something is obviously blue or green or brown, there's a recognition lag as the brain compares objects with different lighting.
  • The order of genetic info you get has issues. Once I got bloodtype, I used it to select babies almost exclusively, because there's no 50/50 stuff like with hair and skin color. 
  • "Weight" and "height" feel kinda tacked on. I don't know normal baby weights and heights off hand, so if I want to use them, I have to compare them to all other babies to see if they're significantly different. It doesn't help that average heights and weights vary by country, so I don't know what constitutes tall or heavy for parents by the game's standard.

Thank you for that review! Biopunk additions is very great suggestion, and it can fir out fictional dystopian world. thanks for the criticism, everything is on point and will be taken into account in further development.
