Not sure if you'll read this but just read your patreon post and figured I'd say something. Do what you want to do. Do you want to go to uni? Do that. Do you want to continue the game? Do so. Do you want to quit? Quit. Just don't live with regrets.
If you want to continue working on the game you could take this as an opportunity to remake it to a degree. Streamline things and focus less on systems and more on story, adding those features later if you really want them.
