Why would anyone choose to send their child to boarding school? Between the peer pressure, loneliness, and inherent elitism, it seems like a risky choice. And if that's not enough, consider the scenario in Expelled!, the latest release from inkle, the masterminds behind Overboard. In this game, you're not just dealing with the usual school dramas; someone's been pushed out of a window!
In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly virtuous student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. When a prefect takes a tumble out of a window, you're suddenly the prime suspect in an attempted murder case. Your mission? Clear your name within one school day, with characters moving and acting independently around you, creating a race against time. Will you uncover the true culprit, frame someone else, or resort to brute force with your hockey stick? The choice is yours!

Inkle, the developer behind my all-time favorite mobile game 80 Days, and the captivating murder-mystery Overboard!, has struck gold again. While Expelled! features a less sinister protagonist, you can choose to play it straight, pin the crime on someone else, or unleash your inner teenage vigilante. And there's a twist—you might not be as innocent as you initially appear. You'll have to dive into the game to uncover the truth.
