About Limerick: Cadence Mansion
Limerick: Cadence Mansion is a detail-rich first-person action-horror adventure with deep lore, intricate puzzles, satisfying combat, and a happy little marionette who really wants to say "hello."
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 is such a good indie horror game, I don't understand why hardly anyone knows it. The atmosphere is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ creepy, the graphics are awesome, the puzzles are great and the story is eerie and crazy. Three boss fights and lots of cool diffrent enemies. If you like horror you have to play it. If you don't like puzzles you can skip almost all of it.8 found this helpful
I massively enjoyed playing through this game! I've done a little review on YT showcasing my first impression without spoiling anything. Also, highly recommend if you like horror, heavily focused on lore with combat and puzzles! https://youtu.be/pdGHpMn_z1w?si=W2h9F7pXrt5OvZ9M1 found this helpful
Watch out for the puppet blocking the panic room doors when you close them, it won't let you heal or leave the room alive, just die and re-do the same 15 minutes of puzzles again... Hopefully the game plays fair this time maybe...
TLDR: 6/10 overall. Most of it is good. Some parts super tedious. Major bug needs fixing. Overall story keeps you curious but is not the most compelling. Don't let the size of the pro/con sections fool you. The pros and cons are pretty balanced. I made my cons more detailed to help the dev, should the dev ever see this review. Pros -Lost of lore pages to find that tell an interesting backstory. -Creepy atmosphere overall. -Enemies, while simple, give fun fights once things ramp up, mostly. -Majority of the puzzles are fun to complete. -P-B0 is a good boy. Cons -The lairs are very tedious. I like the idea of them but they drag on in such a way that it makes you numb to it all. The later ones getting worse [spoiler] as the corridors get smaller and threats spawn quicker. [/spoiler] -The speed and frequency of the ghost-like enemies dodging your shots is excessive, considering you technically have limited ammo. -Piggybacking off the previous, upgrading weapons feels like the effect is extremely minimal. There seems to be no point trying to upgrade multiple weapons so I recommend focusing only one. [spoiler] Specifically, your psi-blast since it has many mechanics surrounding it…
Underrated aah game. fun story doe
I really liked the concepts, story and gameplay of the game. You have a well written story which is explained throughout the whole game via notes from the staff of the place. Between the 3 bossfights you have time to explore the place and learn more about the limerick, gather stuff and upgrade your weapons or power. Before the bossfights you have to play the game of the Limerick which are mazes with puzzles. While you try to solve those puzzles the Limerick is chasing you. The only thing I hated was the third maze because the Limerick chased me every 2 seconds, always knew where I was so I had no time to even try to solve the puzzles. I was so annoyed that I just skipped 2/3 puzzles! Overall it's an 8/10!
