I really liked your story. As other said, I missed the guidance on what a threat means and how they affect the game state (does a placed thread unlock a dialog option or does seeing the entry in your journal unlock it? Also, it would be good to have dialog options from entries in your log surface at the top of the dialog tree, not somewhere hidden in one of the combinations. i tried several times to get to a the dialog option if a person said something and never found it, though the card said to ask him about it. I really liked how the game feels and would love to playa more polished version of it.
