Why send a child to boarding school? Between the peer pressure, the isolation, and the elitism, you'd think twice. But if you throw in attempted murder, like in inkle's new release, Expelled!, it might just be the tipping point. Set in 1922 at the whimsically named Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a model student accused of pushing a prefect out of a window.
With only one school day to clear your name, time is of the essence in Expelled!. Characters move and act independently, creating a dynamic environment where you must race against the clock. Whether you choose to uncover the true culprit, frame another student, or resort to brute force with your hockey stick, the choice is yours. It's a thrilling race to either prove your innocence or secure your acquittal by any means necessary.

Recommending Expelled! comes naturally, especially with Catherine Dellosa's glowing review backing it up. Inkle, the masterminds behind my all-time favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the gripping murder-themed visual novel Overboard!, have once again hit the mark. Although Verity Amersham is far less sinister than some of inkle's previous protagonists, you can choose to play it straight, pin the blame on someone else, or unleash your inner vigilante. And let's not forget, Verity may not be as innocent as she initially appears.
To truly experience the twists and turns of Expelled!, you'll have to dive in yourself. And if you're eager to stay updated on the best upcoming releases, you're in the right place. Our list of the most anticipated games for 2025 is ready for you to explore!
