I'm unimpressed by this, and I don't think the fact that it's not a story is the issue. How to Play Alone wasn't really a story (well, it had bookends, but the story wasn't really the point). To me, this whole ritual is just uninteresting. It can be summarized as "You slowly mutilate a person, then electrocute them." I don't feel like there's any method to the madness, beyond it all adds up the 52.

My suggestion, if you want to do a 52 day torture session based on a deck of cards, is come up with 52 different forms of torture, and assign each a relevance to a playing card.
