Really like the concept here. Graphics are fantastic!
I feel like this could be expanded into a full game where you have to match up an entire hotel/apartment building.

Nice entry, was a bit unclear what constitutes a match (just persons, do they have to be in particular rooms?), not a lot of time to try different combinations on each go.

Lovely graphics and mood

I managed only four babies. Challenging to look at all the details on a timer!

I think you find a very potentially influential concept here. It serves puzzles, control, and story-telling in an very innovative and perfect way. Awesome!

Some couples enjoyed sex in a room with a baby.

Interesting concept, it feels like the time passes too quickly to really enjoy what the characters are saying to each other though. I wouldn't mind seeing an extended version!

good concept and smart to make it short so it didn't spoil. would have liked more indication toward preferences and maybe a rotating cast.

Very unique concept. The night went a bit quick for my taste, but I still managed five.

I got 6 babies :). Nice interpretation of the theme. Great fun and I can see this grow with more levels and pairings into a fun little game. Great work

Really good graphics and concept! The only issue is that we don't really know how to find the perfect match, it's a little bit hazardous. But overall enjoyable :)

Quite hard to fill all the rooms with babies but I do like your interpretation of the theme.

Hey, 5 babies! Is that bad? :) I loved shuffling people around, the timer seemed a bit harsh but I had a quick and fun experience. Congratulations!
