Really cool idea and matches the theme very well. Also well polished.

If you are polishing further after the jam I think I have couple of suggestions:

  • iconifying traits for people who don't like the alphabet (would help scanning and also remembering people)
  • different name colours (also to help remembering)
  • a journal (also to help remembering)

Ended up with the last two cards being the same people over and over and I could only end the game when I got it wrong? It's an interesting idea however I would have liked more traits as a lot of homeopathy and scientific journals came up.

I liked how the cards looked with everyone's faces and names (which I assume may be randomly generated?), but most of the time it felt really random if I succeeded or failed.

There didn't seem to be much of a point for the timer than to add unecessary stress as I didn't know how long it would take to go through the cards, meaning I quickly read through the traits and mashed accept or deny based on a single matching trait from each. The description mentioned environmental clues, but due to rushing, I didn't spot any.

I did have, what I assume, the time traveler (since I unlocked that afterwards) return to marry himself, which was amusing.

Thank you! 
Faces are indeed randomly generated from library of feature variants (which was super fun to make!) I recommend to play through few more times to spot all the details that are hidden there.

This was a really cool interpretation of the theme. I only discovered one type of card from the help section, but I was thoroughly surprised when I found that the choices you make have an impact beyond your score. I would say this game could benefit from some clearer explanation, though, as I was getting a better score by mashing the accept button every time than by attempting to matchmake on my own. It's a really cool idea but I couldn't quite grasp how to make the "right" choice.

Great work, regardless. Oh, and the UI was great!

This was a neat concept! Unlocking the vampires was a fun twist. The messages on the cellphone and the police sirens in the window was a nice touch.
