Nice work! I would echo other's notes on having mouse controls be more precise and add that some extra flair here and there would help (perhaps different models for different people, more story elements, etc.) but that could of course end up just being a completely different game. Overall I think it's a great baseline that could be expanded on in a bunch of different ways!

I was also having a lot of mouse problems, but I liked the aesthetics of the game!

Wordy LoopsI LOVED this game! Not enough moral quandary games. I really enjoyed the concept of 'hangman' twisted and reshaped to something as grim as this game. Basically thought I was loading in to a simple game of word guessing by the title, but actually found another game that had me wondering if someone was in the wrong for petty theft. I'd say some more atmosphere would help sell it, since a lot of what made Papers, Please so convincing was that it was just dripping with atmosphere. But overall quite unique and worth expanding what's there!
For some simple feedback, the mouse controls unfortunately gave me a lot of trouble, and it seemed I couldn't easily drag people around. Also, if the queue of people gets too big, their details start clipping out of the screen. That's it though! Maybe try and introduce conditions a little more slowly as to not overwhelm players.
Overall, great idea that got me thinking about my choices!

Checkered FateThis game reminds a lot of Papers Please, and I think the core idea is cool & the black and white graphics are on point. One glaring issue I see is that you get points for whatever you do, so loading all of the suspects into the wagon will let you win the game without any repercussions. Because of that there's really no incentive to look at the traits of each suspect and then decide whether or not to execute them, when you can just load them straight into the cart and get a point that way.
I think if better point management & more "mini games" were added, it would be a quite fun game! -Mike
