I thought Mae's personal issues and friendships were a lot more compelling than the horror aspect.

I agree with this, but I would argue that's the point. The horror is of course very much present, and even comprises the largest-scale plot thread. In my opinion, though, it represents incidental events that happen to occur in Mae's life rather than being what NITW is truly about.

I really hate saying this, because the game's inherent mundanity and daily routine is by design.

I'm glad you acknowledged this. For what it's worth, I personally found it enjoyable to simply walk and jump around as Mae every day, and the element of exploring and discovering new places and situations in Possum Springs also helped to ensure its drudgery wasn't simply unfun for me.

Still, though, I think just about any good-faith opinion about NITW is valid, even if I personally disagree with some of them. It's (of course) a very unique game, and different people have different experiences and take away different things from it. It just so happened to have an unprecedented impact on me in particular.
