'Limerick: Cadence Mansion' Shows Off Gameplay, Updated Demo Coming In June - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on May 9, 2023 @ 4:30 p.m. PDT

Limerick: Cadence Mansion is a detail-rich first-person thriller-adventure with deep lore, intricate puzzles, satisfying stealth-action gameplay, 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 as you dive deeper into a story of manipulation and dark science.

In Limerick: Cadence Mansion, explore an abandoned mansion inhabited only by monsters, both beast and man, and discover its secrets in your attempts to escape. Solve puzzles to progress through increasingly haunting environments, fend off or hide from evil creatures and tear through the fabric of reality in cinematic boss fights. Scavenge for resources throughout the forgotten mansion and use Panic closets to escape from harm.


“I’m so happy to finally show off the Limerick: Cadence Mansion gameplay trailer to the world,” said Daniel Hall, Solo developer at Jenito Studios. “Using Unreal Engine 5, everything you see has been painstakingly handcrafted with nearly every monster and environment an original creation. Even the musical tracks have been composed by myself. Any assets used have been carefully curated to ensure they match the style, feel, and flow of the world perfectly. Cadence Mansion will soon be open to all, do you dare enter?”

A playable PC demo is available on Steam., but a vastly improved version will be released in June.

Here's a quick list of what you can expect new:

  • Vastly improved ambience
  • A significant peek into the story campaign
  • New weapons and combat mechanics
  • A greatly improved encounter with Limerick that gives you multiple new options for dealing with survival
  • Panic Closets now recharge essential stats, including life
  • Brand new OST
  • Vastly improved tutorial mechanics

The new demo will likely not include the sandbox mode, as the main focus will be on the story-mode gameplay.


Until June, you can still enjoy the current demo, but be aware it is signficantly more challenging than what you will experience in the finished game, and it is not nearly as polished/ambient as the demo coming in June.

A new ballad sounds across Nightsonnet Isle. Awaken, Proofreader, and solve the ancient writ.

The seas will swallow light with darkness. The boulders will shatter and shake. The Poets will be silenced and the Resplendent will rise.

Will you take the quill and right the wrongs of Splendor? Can you unlock the mysteries of its games and riddles? What will you learn of the Anachronism, of the Dissonance and Cacophony, of the Dark Refrain and Prism?

And when you face the darkness, will you be ready?

Key Features:

  • 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?
  • Original soundtrack filled with orchestral motifs and themes

Limerick: Cadence Mansion is coming to PC (Steam) in June 2023.
