I think you've got a cool idea here, but I echo the sentiment that it feels like the engine is fighting you. I love the character designs, and the idea of a mundane job gradually ending up weird is cool.
I was a little confused about what the job actually was. Why are birds giving off Morse Code signals? Are we getting the signals from someone else? I didn't really get it, but the vibe was cool.
I liked playing Crazy Eights at the end!
