Thank you so much Moriko, amazing review as always!
Originally, I planned for the remake to be just a graphical upgrade, keeping the story and events exactly as they were in the original. However, I always felt the story in the first one was a mess and I wanted to give Greta more screen time, so I decided to do some sort of "remaimagining" of the original, with some easter eggs/hints to 2 and 3 (there was no mention of Zagaracathal in the first game so this was a perfect opportunity for that).
Redesigning the characters was pretty fun (and also frustrating, since there had to be coherence and consistency between the sprites and the portraits), but I definitely agree that some of the original designs were more uncanny and creepy.
The card you missed was in the basement, below one of the dolls in a wheelchair. After the doll moves, you can go back to that area and pick up the card.
I considered keeping the screaming man but since originally he wasn't supposed to be there (I mean, in the original), I thought it would be better not having him there.
By the way, this takes place in a different universe/timeline, so that's why the plot is heading in a different direction, and the villains have/will have different backstories. I might continue working on this timeline, but the sequels would be named in a different way.
Anyway
As always, thank you so much for playing and your amazing feedback Moriko!
