Dive into the gritty underbelly of 2006 Los Angeles in The Directorate: Novitiate, a narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG infused with magic. As Kana Luna, alias Mercury, you'll blend gunplay with spellcasting in a thrilling hunt for a supernatural serial killer within the shadowy world of the Dark Syndicate. Developed by Nesting Games, this title aims to be a standout experience of 2025.
Expect a dynamic blend of action and choice. Upgrade your offensive and defensive abilities, shaping your gameplay style. But the choices extend beyond combat; Nesting Games promises impactful narrative decisions, stating, "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." This duality is central to the experience, as you navigate a double life: a magical hitman by night and a seemingly ordinary individual by day. The potential for these two lives to collide and the consequences that follow promises high stakes and intense gameplay.
