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 city, mixing guns, magic, and story within the Dark Syndicate. Developer Nesting Games aims to deliver one of 2025's most memorable gaming experiences.
In *The Directorate: Novitiate*, you'll engage in thrilling third-person gunplay combined with powerful magic spells as you embark on a mission to apprehend a supernatural serial killer. Throughout your journey, you'll have the opportunity to upgrade both your offensive and defensive skills, giving you greater control over your gameplay. But the real power lies in your choices, which extend into the narrative. Nesting Games emphasizes, "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 game explores the theme of duality, challenging you to "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."
