About
Transform into Mercury, a formidable, mystical mobster, in this exhilarating third-person action role-playing game. Engage supernatural perils, chase a ruthless serial killer through the cityscape of Los Angeles, and decide your allegiance as conflict erupts.
2006, Los Angeles: The shadowy supernatural realm teeters on the brink of conflict, and Mercury finds itself squarely in the line of fire. Confront powerful occult forces, uncover hidden terrors lurking among us, chase a ruthless murderer, and navigate through tough decisions and concealed threats.
Upon revisiting what was once considered home, Kana Luna (also recognized as Mercury) finds herself plunged into unfamiliar waters when her existence becomes inexplicably linked with the Costa Muerta – a shadowy organization under the Directorate. With her life at stake, Kana must subtly enhance her abilities while operating as Mercury, aiming to climb up from the Novitiate and safeguard the world she recognizes.
