Quite an interesting and innovative idea. I liked the game texts, and how it all looks, I like when games have something to laugh about :). The music also adds to the atmosphere well.
The only thing I noticed is that if you move on to the next round before the character's appearance animation ends, the character will disappear and only his text will remain until the next round.
It was fun, congratulations!

Machine part gearI checked your profile and this seems to be your first released game - congratulations!
An interesting idea. The execution can be improved by providing more context - the choices seem to me too short, it is often difficult to estimate what the consequence would be. Maybe if you add a tooltip or some other way to get more content about the choice?
I think you've randomised the order, correct? Considering that the content is self-contained micro-stories that improves the replayability.
There is some monetary value on the item cards - I don't think it's reference anywhere else. What's that about? Maybe it's better to remove it because it makes the overall feel of the game more mundane.
