I think it definitely needs more percussion. High hats, shakers, open hats. Maybe not necessarily your typical house style because i think your going for something a little different here. Also small white noise bursts on every 8th bar tend to help the listener know that your idea is about to repeat.. haha.
also i think it would be really cool if you had the bassline follow the notes of that lead when it comes in.
Those rides are a little too quiet in my opinion i would bring them up a little louder.
Maybe you could sample a crackling fire into the background to fit the theme a little more.
music is super subjective so please take my recommendations with a grain of salt. to each their own.
good luck
