Dive into the shadowy depths of Los Angeles with *The Directorate: Novitiate*, a groundbreaking narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG set in a magic-infused world of 2006. As Kana Luna, also known as Mercury, you'll navigate the underbelly of the Dark Syndicate, blending guns, magic, and compelling storytelling. Developer Nesting Games aims to make this one of the most memorable games of 2025.
In *The Directorate: Novitiate*, you'll embark on a thrilling quest to apprehend a supernatural serial killer. The game seamlessly integrates third-person gunplay with magical spells, allowing you to upgrade both your offensive and defensive skills. This not only enhances your gameplay experience but also gives you significant agency in the narrative. Nesting Games emphasizes that "Even romance has risks. Every choice has consequences. Choose whether to stay loyal to the Edicts of the Directorate or retain your humanity in the real world." The theme of duality is central to the game, as you'll "navigate a treacherous path at night as a magical hitman and juggle your normal life during the day. When your two lives collide, beware who gets caught in the clash."
