It's hard to say for sure. Just from the name, it could be. The '5 nights' part might imply a survival - horror type of situation similar to 'Five Nights at Freddy's'. However, since it also has 'anime visual novel' in the name, it could also be more story - based and not strictly horror.
One similar horror visual novel could be 'The Witch's House'. It has a very spooky atmosphere and a strong narrative, much like what you might expect from an 'aquarium horror visual novel'. Another is 'Mad Father', which is also filled with horror elements and a sense of dread throughout the story.

It could be. Given that it takes inspiration from 'Five Nights at Freddy's', which is a horror game, and combines it with anime elements. However, it might also have elements that are not as scary and more focused on the story and character development typical of visual novels.
The characters' fates also play a big role. If the characters are in constant danger and bad things keep happening to them, it makes the reader feel scared for them. In 'Angels of Death', the main character's journey through a dangerous place filled with killers is quite nerve - wracking.
Some top body horror novels include 'The Troop' by Nick Cutter. It's about a group of boy scouts on an island who encounter a parasitic horror that takes over their bodies in the most gruesome ways.

'Carrie' by Stephen King can also be considered a body horror novel in a way, as it shows the telekinetic powers of Carrie causing extreme and bloody destruction to the bodies of those who wronged her.
