The Directorate: Novitiate, a captivating single-player action-RPG, plunges players into the shadowy underbelly of a magic-infused Los Angeles in 2006. Step into the shoes of Kana Luna, alias Mercury, and engage in a thrilling blend of gunplay, magic, and impactful narrative choices within the dangerous Dark Syndicate. Nesting Games aims to deliver one of 2025's most unforgettable gaming experiences.
As Mercury, you'll hunt a supernatural serial killer, seamlessly weaving magic spells into intense third-person gunfights. Progress unlocks upgrades to both offensive and defensive capabilities, offering significant player agency. This extends beyond gameplay; Nesting Games emphasizes the weight of choices, stating, "Even romance has risks. Every choice has consequences. Choose your allegiance: the Directorate's Edicts or your own humanity." The game explores the theme of duality, challenging players to "navigate a treacherous nocturnal existence as a magical hitman while maintaining a normal daytime life. When these worlds collide, be wary of the consequences."
