While the Usher features some of the strongest writing in a competition bursting with great writers, the tone is not quite consistent. The writing would have me really feeling the doomed melancholy of Lalu's inevitable death, and then it would throw me a line about making the passage to the afterlife as "smooth as a laxative". [...] To some extent it only itches because the writing is excellent. The parser, too, is top-notch, especially considering that this is the first game by both designers.
