In case anybody runs into the same silly issue I had...
I got Oxenfree from GOG but have a Steam controller (also I am running windows 10). To correctly configure it requires that you add the game to steam as a Non-Steam game. However, I found the game would not respond to the controller configuration at all.
The solution was to add the correct executable to Steam. If you naively add the "Oxenfree" entry from the list of installed programs that steam detects, you only add the GOG launcher for the game. Apparently the launcher "disappears" once it calls the real executable so steam assumes the program has finished and doesn't apply its controller config.
The correct "oxenfree.exe" executable that needs to be added to steam is under the "32" or "64" folder (choose the appropriate one depending on the bits for you system) in the main Oxenfree install folder. Now everything seems to work as expected.
