A new ballad sounds across Nightsonnet Isle. The seas will swallow light with darkness. The boulders will shatter and shake. The Poets will be silenced, and the Resplendent will rise.

Limerick is a story-rich, atmospheric thriller-adventure set on the foreboding Nightsonnet Isle. You awaken in an empty cell with your past and purpose shrouded in mystery. Responsive puzzles, otherworldly monsters, and enigmatic clues will challenge you each step of the way as you explore, experience, and engage with the riddles of Cadence Mansion.

SOLVE

Limerick: Cadence Mansion serves a rich buffet of responsive, interactive and satisfying puzzles. Players can choose to experiment with puzzles and find solutions on their own or explore the intricately detailed world of Cadence Mansion to find solutions littered through the notes, mechanisms, and images left behind by the missing denizens of these lifeless halls.

FIGHT

From tense encounters in tight spaces to epic, out-of-this-world boss battles, Limerick will challenge and amaze with a cast of terrifying creatures. Carefully themed and wildly ethereal, the monsters of Nightsonnet Isle tell a story all their own.

EXPLORE

Enter the painstakingly hand-crafted world of the Splendor Point Poet's Corporation and the Resplendent. Filled with breathtaking environments, set dressing, and visual stories, players can lose themselves for hours in the luxurious and terrifying atmosphere of the Mansion atop the mountain.

SURVIVE

No horror experience would be complete without a memorable antagonist to chase you through the halls. The eponymous Limerick is not just a monster - he is the grand mystery of Splendor Point. What are his motivations? What incredible secrets and powers does he hold? And when the time comes to meet him, will you be ready?

Limerick: Cadence Mansion Ratings & Reviews

Thumb Culture

I find the puzzles in tandem fun and tedious. For example, when entering Limerick Encounters, having the player do the three puzzles three times each (nine times total!) was annoying and boring after some time. I enjoy some of the stories found in notes to learn about the overarching story and find out the fates of some of their authors, but I feel that there are too many notes, sometimes too many close together. The controls were quick and easy to learn, and the environments were fun to navigate. The sprinting bar replenishes at a rate that you don’t easily outrun the monsters but doesn’t leave you at a disadvantage. Limerick: Cadence Mansion is a solid puzzle game and an engaging, smooth experience. I highly recommend this game for lore lovers and puzzle fanatics.

8 / 10

Limerick: Cadence Mansion is a good game for spooky season because it has plenty of familiar mechanics while creating an interesting universe. It’s not horror by any means but there are some effective scary moments. The game creates constant tension between the drive to discover more and the need to run to a Panic room to avoid death and recover.
