Why would anyone want to send their child to boarding school? Between the peer pressure, loneliness, and general snobbiness, it's a tough sell. And if that wasn't enough, there's also the risk of being pushed out of windows! Of course, that's not the norm everywhere, but it certainly is at the heart of inkle's new game, Expelled!.
In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. Life was going smoothly until a prefect took a tumble out of a window, and you find yourself accused of attempted murder! Now, you've got just one school day to clear your name, and the clock is ticking as characters move and act independently around you.
Your mission? Clear your name by any means necessary. Whether you choose to find the real culprit, frame someone else, or resort to using your hockey stick to clobber your way to acquittal, the choice is yours!
It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially without even diving into Catherine Dellosa's glowing review. Inkle, the masterminds behind my all-time favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the thrilling murder mystery Overboard!, have struck gold once 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 seem!
You'll have to dive into Expelled! yourself to uncover the full story. 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 best upcoming games for 2025 for you to explore!
