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

Why send a child to boarding school? Beyond the usual suspects like peer pressure, isolation, and a touch of elitism, there's also the risk of being accused of attempted murder! At least, that's the scenario in inkle's latest release, Expelled!, where you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a schoolgirl at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. Accused of pushing a prefect out of a window, Verity must navigate a single school day to clear her name, with characters moving and acting independently around her.

In Expelled!, you can choose to solve the mystery and find the real culprit, frame another student, or resort to more drastic measures like using your hockey stick. The game's dynamic environment adds urgency, making every decision critical as time ticks away. Whether you play it straight, pin the blame on someone else, or unleash your inner vigilante, the choice is yours. And there's a twist: Verity might not be as innocent as she seems.

Inkle, the creative minds behind the critically acclaimed mobile game 80 Days and the intriguing murder mystery Overboard, have once again delivered a compelling narrative with Expelled!. The game's engaging storyline and multiple paths to acquittal have earned it high praise, including a glowing review from Catherine Dellosa.

For fans of inkle's work and anyone interested in a thrilling narrative experience, Expelled! is a must-play. And if you're eager to stay updated on the latest and greatest in gaming, don't miss our list of the best upcoming games for 2025!
