Want It!

A third-person action RPG, mixing gangster themes with fantasy bits. The Directorate: Novitiate offers a gun fu style combat system, largely inspired by the John Wick film series. We control a skilled assassin nicknamed Mercury, using various guns and skills to deal with opponents. We also make choices, affecting both the world and the protagonist.

The Directorate: Novitiate is an action RPG game that combines gangster themes with fantasy elements. The game is the debut project of the Canadian studio Nesting Games, founded by developers who have worked on such series as Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty and Borderlands.

Story

The Directorate: Novitiate transports us to an alternative version of Los Angeles from 2006. During the game, we take on the role of Kana Luna, who uses the pseudonym Mercury. Upon returning home, the protagonist discovers that the local underrworld is on the verge of war, and to make matters worse, a serial killer with supernatural powers is on the loose in the city.
