Step into the shadowy underbelly of Los Angeles in 2006 with *The Directorate: Novitiate*, a gripping narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG. Developed by Nesting Games, this highly anticipated title promises to be one of 2025's most memorable games. In this magic-infused world, you take on the role of Kana Luna, also known as Mercury, and delve into a thrilling mix of guns, magic, story, and player choices within the notorious Dark Syndicate.
As you embark on a mission to apprehend a supernatural serial killer, *The Directorate: Novitiate* seamlessly blends third-person gunplay with magical spells. Throughout your journey, you'll enhance both your offensive and defensive skills, giving you significant control over your gameplay experience. However, the game's depth extends beyond combat. Nesting Games emphasizes that your narrative choices matter profoundly, 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." This theme of duality is central to the game, where 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."
