In the gripping new mystery game, *Expelled!* from inkle, the creators of *Overboard!*, you find yourself in a dire situation at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls. Set in April 1922, you play as Verity Amersham, a scholarship student voiced by Amelia Tyler, known for her role in *Baldur's Gate 3*. Verity has always tried to keep her head down, but now she's been accused of pushing a school prefect out of a window. With only one day to clear her name or shift the blame, every decision you make is crucial.
*Expelled!* is not just about choosing dialogue options; it's about how your every action—from where you go to who you interact with—shapes the narrative. The non-player characters (NPCs) at the school move and react in real-time, creating a dynamic environment where trust is hard to come by. Will you solve the mystery, or will you resort to lies, manipulation, and deceit to save yourself? You can even persuade someone to provide an alibi or pin the crime on another student. The more you push the boundaries, the more paths and possibilities unfold.
Each playthrough of *Expelled!* lasts between 30-45 minutes, but thanks to the game's intricate web of choices, no two experiences are the same. Your decisions lead to new clues, alternate endings, and hidden secrets scattered throughout the school. Explore why the cellar is locked or why your best friend seems to be hiding something. And if you manage to avoid expulsion, you might even ascend to the rank of Head Girl.

How you choose to clear your name—or how far you're willing to go to do so—is entirely in your hands.
*Expelled!* is set to launch on March 12th across multiple platforms, including Steam, Nintendo Switch, and iOS. Get ready to navigate the intricate web of lies and truths at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls.
