Dive into the gritty underbelly of 2006 Los Angeles in The Directorate: Novitiate, a narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG. Step into the shoes of Kana Luna, alias Mercury, and navigate a world infused with magic and danger. Prepare for a thrilling blend of gunplay, magic spells, compelling storytelling, and impactful player choices as you unravel mysteries within the shadowy Dark Syndicate. Nesting Games aims to deliver one of 2025's most unforgettable gaming experiences.
As Mercury, you'll hunt a supernatural serial killer, blending magic and firearms in a dynamic combat system. Upgrade your offensive and defensive capabilities, shaping your gameplay style. But the choices extend beyond combat; Nesting Games emphasizes narrative agency, 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 game explores duality, forcing 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."
