Hey man we chatted about this in the Discord, but I feel it would really fly if you designed cards in a Lovecraftian style for the bottom card choices, and then you just need to develop the mechanics to make the events relate to the main character in a more definitive way (i.e. the story paths that each event triggers have a more solid grip on the actions and reactions of the character and the relationship between the two things - player and event). I think you can do this by basically giving the player a deck of cards they can use to effect the events and choices. It could just be like 3 cards to start with.
I get the idea is way more complicated than you can achieve in 3 weeks, but you should persevere with this, the atmospheric music, fonts and awesome writing are awesome and I think this could really be something cool. Keep going!
