Ever pondered the appeal of boarding schools? Beyond the usual suspects of peer pressure, loneliness, and elitism, there's also the thrill of potential intrigue—like someone being pushed out of a window! While not a universal boarding school experience, it's certainly the case in Expelled!, the latest offering from inkle, the creative minds behind Overboard.
In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent schoolgirl at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. When a prefect takes a tumble out of a window, Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder. Your mission? Clear your name within a single school day, as characters around you move and act independently, adding urgency to your quest.
You have the freedom to exonerate yourself through various means—whether by uncovering the true culprit, framing someone else, or resorting to more... physical methods with your hockey stick. The choice is yours, and the game's dynamic environment ensures that every decision counts.
It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially given the glowing review from Catherine Dellosa. Inkle, known for my all-time favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the gripping murder mystery Overboard!, has once again struck gold. While Verity may not be as sinister as some of inkle's past protagonists, you can choose to play it straight, pin the crime on another, or unleash your inner teenage vigilante. And, there's a twist—Verity might not be as innocent as she appears.
To uncover the full story, you'll need to dive into Expelled! yourself. And if you're eager to stay updated on the best upcoming releases, you're in the right place. We've already compiled a list of the top games to look forward to in 2025, ready for you to explore!
