The Directorate: Novitiate Announced for PC

Dive into the gritty underbelly of a magic-infused Los Angeles in 2006 with The Directorate: Novitiate, a narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG. Step into the shoes of Kana Luna, also known as Mercury, and prepare for a thrilling blend of gunplay, magic, compelling storytelling, and impactful player choices within the shadowy world of the Dark Syndicate. Nesting Games aims to deliver one of 2025's most unforgettable gaming experiences.

Combine potent magic spells with visceral third-person gunplay as you hunt a supernatural serial killer. Upgrade your offensive and defensive capabilities, shaping your gameplay experience. But the choices don't stop there; Nesting Games emphasizes narrative agency, 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 a core theme, as 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."
