Ever wondered why anyone would send their child to a boarding school? Between the peer pressure, loneliness, and general snobbery, you might also have to deal with someone being pushed out of a window! Well, that's the dramatic scenario you'll encounter in Expelled!, the latest release from inkle, the creators behind the acclaimed game Overboard.
In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent schoolgirl at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in the year 1922. Despite your reputation as a goody two-shoes, you find yourself accused of an unthinkable crime—attempted murder—after a prefect is pushed out of a window. Your mission? Clear your name by any means necessary within the span of one school day.
With characters moving and acting independently, the clock is ticking. You can choose to uncover the real culprit to clear your name, frame someone else, or even resort to violence with your hockey stick. The choice is entirely yours, making every playthrough unique and engaging.
It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially without even delving into Catherine Dellosa's glowing review. Inkle, known for crafting my personal favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the thrilling murder mystery Overboard, has once again struck gold. While Verity Amersham may not be as sinister as some protagonists, you have the freedom to play it straight, pin the blame on another, or embrace your inner teenage Punisher. 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 all its secrets.
