The Directorate: Novitiate, a thrilling new single-player action-RPG, plunges players into the magical underbelly of 2006 Los Angeles. Step into the shoes of Kana Luna, alias Mercury, and navigate a world where gunplay and magic intertwine within the dangerous Dark Syndicate. Developer Nesting Games promises a memorable 2025 release, blending intense combat, compelling storytelling, and impactful player choices.
As Mercury, you'll hunt a supernatural serial killer, upgrading both your magical and firearm skills to shape your gameplay experience. But the choices extend beyond combat; Nesting Games emphasizes the narrative's weight, 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 themes of 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."
