Dive into the gritty underbelly of 2006 Los Angeles in The Directorate: Novitiate, a narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG. As Kana Luna, aka Mercury, you'll navigate a magic-infused world, blending thrilling gunplay with potent magic spells in your pursuit of a supernatural serial killer.
Developed by Nesting Games, The Directorate: Novitiate promises a memorable 2025 gaming experience, where your choices shape both gameplay and narrative. Upgrade your offensive and defensive skills, impacting your combat effectiveness. But the consequences extend beyond combat; Nesting Games emphasizes the weight of your decisions, 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 duality is central to the game's core, as you'll lead a double life: a magical hitman by night and a seemingly ordinary individual by day. The potential for these lives to collide, and the repercussions of that clash, hangs heavy in the air.
