Considering sending your child to boarding school? Think again. Aside from the usual suspects like peer pressure, loneliness, and an air of snobbishness, there's the added thrill of attempted murder! At least, that's the case in Expelled!, the latest release from inkle, the masterminds 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. But when a prefect takes a tumble out of a window, Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder. Your mission? Clear your name by any means necessary within the confines of a single school day. The clock is ticking, and characters are moving and acting independently around you. Will you find the real culprit, frame an unsuspecting classmate, or resort to brute force with your trusty hockey stick? The choice is yours!
It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially with Catherine Dellosa's glowing review. Inkle, the studio behind my all-time favorite mobile game, 80 Days, has once again struck gold with their murder-themed visual novel Overboard!. While Expelled! casts you as a less sinister protagonist, you have the freedom to play it straight, pin the blame on someone else, or embrace your inner vigilante. And, there might be a twist—Verity may not be as innocent as she appears.
You'll have to dive into Expelled! to uncover the truth for yourself. And if you're eager to stay updated on the best upcoming releases, you're in the right spot. Check out our list of the best upcoming games for 2025 and get ready for more thrilling adventures!
