Ever pondered the allure of boarding schools? Despite the potential pitfalls like peer pressure, loneliness, and elitism, there's now the added twist of attempted murder at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in the thrilling new game, Expelled!, brought to you by inkle, the masterminds behind Overboard.
Step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly virtuous schoolgirl caught in a whirlwind of accusations after a prefect takes a tumble out of a window in 1922. You're framed for attempted murder, and with only a single school day to clear your name, the clock is ticking. Navigate the school's corridors, interact with other characters who move and act independently, and race against time to prove your innocence. Will you uncover the real perpetrator, pin the blame on someone else, or resort to more... physical methods with your hockey stick?
It's a no-brainer to recommend Expelled!, especially given the stellar review by Catherine Dellosa. Inkle, known for crafting my all-time favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the gripping visual novel Overboard, has once again hit the mark. While Verity may not be as sinister as some of inkle's past protagonists, you have the freedom to play her role with integrity, deceit, or brute force. And there's a twist—Verity might not be as innocent as she appears at first glance.
Dive into Expelled! and unravel the mystery yourself. And if you're eager to stay ahead of the curve, don't miss our comprehensive list of the best upcoming games for 2025—your go-to guide for the latest and greatest in gaming.
