Dive into the shadowy depths of Los Angeles in 2006 with *The Directorate: Novitiate*, a gripping narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG developed by Nesting Games. As Kana Luna, also known as Mercury, you'll navigate the perilous world of the Dark Syndicate, blending guns, magic, and impactful player choices in what promises to be one of 2025's standout games.
Embark on a thrilling quest to apprehend a supernatural serial killer, utilizing a dynamic mix of third-person gunplay and powerful magic spells. As you progress, you'll enhance your offensive and defensive abilities, giving you greater control over your gameplay experience. But the choices you make extend beyond combat—every decision you make in the narrative carries weight. Nesting Games emphasizes, "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, as you balance the life of a magical hitman at night with your everyday existence during the day. Nesting warns, "When your two lives collide, beware who gets caught in the clash."
