The first impression of this game doesn't engage or impress. The "Happy" should definitely be in quotes because no one is. The characters aren't 'likeable,' especially the MC. Do I really want tons of angst (and unresolved issues from the past) in a fantasy porn game? It's early so maybe this turns around, but I have doubts.
The story line does open the door for the family to pull together against outsiders, so perhaps things will improve. That said, the game feels pretty bad to me at this point. My reasoning goes like this...when everybody needs therapy, porn doesn't fit well from a fantasy perspective. Sex in this context begins to feel like a (symptom of)/(response to) problems that are a bit too 'real life' to be comfortable. Suffering characters may be sympathetic, but sex needs a context where it fits. This is not a corruption story (yet?) and the whole family starts in a downward spiral (IMHO). I'll give this a bit more time but it may not be worth the effort for me. YMMV.
