Framed for Murder at Girls' Boarding School: Was It You?

Considering the trials of boarding school life—peer pressure, loneliness, and the occasional snobbish atmosphere—one might wonder about the allure. But in inkle's latest release, Expelled!, you'll encounter even more drama, including an attempted murder!

In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in the year 1922. When a prefect is mysteriously pushed out of a window, Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder. Your mission? Clear your name before the end of the school day, as the clock ticks and characters move independently around you.

You have the freedom to navigate this narrative in various ways. Whether you choose to uncover the real culprit, shift the blame onto someone else, or resort to more drastic measures like wielding your hockey stick, the choice is yours. This flexibility in gameplay reflects inkle's signature style, seen in their acclaimed titles like 80 Days and the murder-themed visual novel Overboard!.

While Verity may not be as sinister as some of inkle's other protagonists, Expelled! offers a range of moral pathways. You can play it straight, engage in some cunning deception, or embrace a more aggressive approach. And, there's a twist—Verity might not be as innocent as she initially appears. Dive into Expelled! to unravel the truth for yourself.
