I’m not sure I got the message (a pun). To me it looks a lot more like a normal existential dread rather than something incomprehensible. I think I really missed a bit more of a mystic nature, or maybe a deeper emotion behind it.
Maybe playing with different but equally useless outcomes of a roll could be more interesting. Maybe a responsibility, a heavy burden or at least something that will be an incentive to do the rolls. Or the inability to escape to do the rolls.
