Nesting Games dropped the official narrative trailer for Directorate Novitiate, a bold and atmospheric urban fantasy action RPG slated to enter Early Access this summer.
Set in a magically reimagined version of 2006 Los Angeles, the trailer introduces us to Kana Luna—code name Mercury—a young woman leading a double life between the ordinary and the arcane. By day, she’s a daughter and friend. By night, she walks the shadows as an assassin within a secretive, supernatural criminal empire known as the Directorate.
The trailer’s moody noir visuals and restrained emotional tone offer a glimpse into Mercury’s internal struggle as she’s caught between the syndicates warring behind the veil of modern life. As the mysterious Constellation Killer emerges, Mercury must navigate betrayal, loss, and a threat that spans both magical and mundane realities.
