At Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls, a shocking incident has occurred: a school prefect has been pushed out of a window, and you're the one everyone is pointing fingers at. In the gripping new mystery game, *Expelled!*, developed by inkle, the masterminds behind *Overboard!*, you have just one day to clear your name or find someone else to take the blame.
Set in the spring of April 1922, *Expelled!* puts you in the shoes of Verity Amersham, a scholarship student at an elite boarding school. Voiced by the talented Amelia Tyler, known for her role in *Baldur's Gate 3*, Verity has always tried to keep her head down and stay out of trouble. But now, accused of attempted murder, she must navigate a web of intrigue to prove her innocence.
In *Expelled!*, your choices are more than just dialogue options. Every action you take, every place you visit, every person you interact with, and every word you speak shapes the narrative. The non-player characters (NPCs) move around the school in real-time, responding to your actions and the unfolding events. Some may offer assistance, while others might work against you. The question remains: who can you really trust?
Your approach to solving the mystery can vary widely. You can choose to uncover the truth through investigation, or you might opt to lie, mislead, or manipulate your way to safety. Need an alibi? Persuade someone to cover for you. Feeling cornered? Shift the blame onto someone else. The more you push the boundaries, the more paths and possibilities open up.
Each playthrough of *Expelled!* lasts approximately 30-45 minutes, but no two experiences will be the same. Your decisions lead to new clues, different endings, and hidden secrets scattered throughout the school. Discover why the cellar is locked or what your best friend is concealing. If you manage to avoid expulsion, you might even aim for the prestigious position of Head Girl.

*Expelled!* is set to launch on March 12th, available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
