VNs and horror are two of my favorite things as far as games go, so nice choice.
I did the sensible thing and hid the first time around before dying on my second run and then realizing I was dreaming on the third run :D
I don't know what engine you used, but what I've seen of the game looks to be within the scope of a traditional visual novel. If you plan on making more games like this, have a look at ren'py. It's an engine specifically made for visual novels that already offers a great framework for choices, saving, loading, handling sprites, text history etc. - anything a VN needs, really.
This jam we made a VN and tactical RPG hybrid which meant I had to use Unity over ren'py and it only served to remind me of just *how* much quality of life it offers when creating VNs.
Anyway, nice game!
