It's okay.

I think the show is far from a representative work for PA Works though. Gloss and pretty backdrops can't hide the limited budget (painfully obvious in the first episode, which isn't the best way to impress viewers), and the exceptional layouts of Canaan and Hanasaku Iroha are sorely missed.

Another may be a PA Works show, but it lacks the sumptuous qualities (through no fault of their own, mind you) that gave the studio its reputation.

Blood-C, Umineko, and Ookami Kakushi all also bombed, IIRC.
All three were harshly received. The Umineko game was immensely popular, so I think Mystery/Horror can succeed under the right circumstances.
