The Directorate: Novitiate, a thrilling new action-RPG, plunges players into the magical underworld of 2006 Los Angeles. Step into the shoes of Kana Luna, alias Mercury, and navigate a world where gunplay and magic intertwine within the shadowy depths of the Dark Syndicate. Developer Nesting Games aims to deliver one of 2025's most unforgettable gaming experiences, blending intense combat, compelling storytelling, and impactful player choices.
Engage in dynamic third-person gun battles enhanced by potent magic spells as you hunt a supernatural serial killer. Progress through the game by upgrading both offensive and defensive capabilities, impacting your gameplay style. But the choices extend beyond combat; Nesting Games emphasizes narrative agency, stating, "Even romance has risks. Every choice has consequences. Choose your allegiance: the Edicts of the Directorate or your own humanity." The game explores the theme of duality, forcing you to "navigate a treacherous path at night as a magical hitman, while balancing a normal life by day. When these worlds collide, be wary of the consequences."
