Dive into the gritty, magic-infused underbelly of 2006 Los Angeles in The Directorate: Novitiate, a captivating single-player, third-person action-RPG. Step into the shoes of Kana Luna, alias Mercury, and engage in 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.

Prepare for intense third-person combat, seamlessly integrating magic spells and firearms as you hunt a supernatural serial killer. Enhance your offensive and defensive capabilities, shaping your gameplay style. But the choices don't stop there; Nesting Games promises narrative agency where "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 the theme of duality, forcing you to "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."
