Hey,
I can't even beging imagining working on sounds in addition to all the other stuff :O
Good thing you kept working on this, it would've been sad if you hadn't finished it! 100% worth psyching yourself up every time!
And I wouldn't worry about the horror elements. Imo the story was great as is. We tried to run at the first chance, just because we wanted to see if there was a cool dead end, and we were not disappointed lol. The comedy ended up being amazing and you still had some horror elements, so I think overall, that worked out :)
I actually started making VNs when I was couch-bound due to physical issues for far too many months and getting into a really dark place mentally, so that whole "working on something single-mindedly for all of your waking hours" sounds spookily familiar.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the feedback!
