A Killer Doll Stalks You in the Demo for ‘Limerick: Cadence Mansion’

Published

Puppet Master: The Game has some company this year in the killer dolls department. Indie developer Jenito Studios has released the first playable demo for their upcoming fantasy thriller adventure game Limerick: Cadence Mansion, which will be released on PC later this year via Steam.

Described as a “detail-rich first-person thriller-adventure” filled with lore, Limerick is set on the foreboding Nightsonnet Isle. You awaken in an empty cell with your past and purpose shrouded in mystery. You’ve got to break out and figure out just what’s going on. Featuring puzzles that will wrack your brain, otherworldly monsters, and enigmatic clues, Limerick will challenge you each step of the way as you explore the island.

There’s also a happy little marionette named Limerick who really wants to say “hello.” Limerick will chase you throughout the halls of Cadence Mansion, but at the same time, you’ll be delving into the lore left behind by the missing denizens of the mansion, which will reveal the mystery behind this killer doll.

As for the demo itself, if you’re worried about any of the story being revealed while you play, you’re safe. According to Jenito Studios, the complete game will have several “sandbox modes” where you can jump straight into an encounter with Limerick, one of which is this demo.

There are some known issues regarding certain graphics cards, so follow these suggestions if you encounter anything weird.

New Gameplay Teaser Shows off Key Mechanics for ‘Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days’ [Watch]

Over a year after it was first announced, developer PikPok has dropped a new gameplay teaser for their upcoming entry in the Into the Dead series with Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. We still don’t have a release date for the zombie strategy game, which is currently in development for an Early Access release on Steam later this year.

The new gameplay teaser shows off Our Darkest Days‘ high tension atmosphere, including key gameplay mechanics such as crafting meals and tools, healing survivors suffering from physical and mental injuries, and of course, fighting off zombies.

“We’re really excited to be showing off a snippet of what we’ve been working on since our announcement trailer in 2023,” says Juliann Lum, PikPok senior product manager. “So much more has gone into the game, including new ways for survivors to interact with the world around them, each other, and of course the dangerous undead that infest the city of Walton.” Lum went on to say that more reveals for Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days are coming over the next few months.

Set in 1980 Texas, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a 2.5D side-scroller where players must guide a group of survivors from shelter to shelter within the beleaguered Walton City, which is infested with the undead. Managing resources and survivors’ needs is crucial as players try to keep ahead of the rising threat while executing plans to escape the quarantined city area.

As mentioned, you’ll be scavenging for supplies, crafting tools and weapons, as well as fighting off the undead, all the while keeping constant movement as the zombie threat closes in. While their experiences will lead survivors to gain new skills, players will also need to manage their physical and psychological needs, as Our Darkest Days has a permadeath mechanic.
