Step into the shadowy world of Los Angeles in 2006 with *The Directorate: Novitiate*, a groundbreaking narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG developed by Nesting Games. As Kana Luna, also known as Mercury, immerse yourself in a magic-infused universe where you'll navigate the underbelly of the Dark Syndicate. This game promises to blend guns, magic, compelling storytelling, and critical player choices to deliver one of 2025's most memorable gaming experiences.
In *The Directorate: Novitiate*, you'll embark on a thrilling quest to apprehend a supernatural serial killer. Your journey will involve a dynamic mix of third-person gunplay and magic spells, with opportunities to upgrade your offensive and defensive skills. These upgrades not only enhance your gameplay but also empower you with significant agency in the narrative. Nesting Games emphasizes the weight of every decision you make, 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." The theme of duality runs deep, 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."
