"Novitiate for PC Announced by The Directorate"

Step into the shadowy world of *The Directorate: Novitiate*, a gripping new narrative-driven, single-player, third-person action-RPG that plunges you into the dark underbelly of Los Angeles in a magic-infused setting of 2006. As Kana Luna, aka Mercury, you'll navigate through the complexities of the Dark Syndicate, blending guns, magic, and impactful player choices in what developer Nesting Games aims to be one of the standout games of 2025.

In this thrilling adventure, you'll engage in third-person gunplay interwoven with powerful magic spells as you embark on a mission to apprehend a supernatural serial killer. As you progress, you'll have the opportunity to enhance your offensive and defensive skills, giving you significant agency in both gameplay and narrative. Nesting Games emphasizes that "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 theme of duality is central to the experience, 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."
