The Directorate: Novitiate, a captivating single-player action-RPG, plunges players into the mystical underbelly of 2006 Los Angeles. Assume the role of Kana Luna, alias Mercury, and engage in a thrilling blend of gunplay, magic, and impactful narrative choices within the shadowy world of the Dark Syndicate. Nesting Games aims to deliver one of 2025's most unforgettable gaming experiences.

Gameplay seamlessly integrates third-person shooting with magical spells as you pursue a supernatural serial killer. Enhance your offensive and defensive capabilities, shaping your approach to combat. Crucially, your decisions extend beyond gameplay, influencing the narrative itself. Nesting Games emphasizes the weight of choices, stating, "Even romance has risks. Every choice has consequences. Choose your allegiance: the Directorate's Edicts or your own humanity." The game explores themes of duality, forcing you to navigate a perilous nocturnal existence as a magical assassin while maintaining a seemingly normal daytime life. The potential clash between these two worlds promises thrilling consequences.
