In the gripping new mystery game, *Expelled!*, you find yourself at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls, accused of a shocking crime: pushing a school prefect out of a window. Developed by inkle, the masterminds behind *Overboard!*, this game thrusts you into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a scholarship student voiced by Amelia Tyler, known for her role in *Baldur's Gate 3*. Set in April 1922, Verity must navigate a day filled with intrigue and danger to clear her name or find someone else to take the blame.
*Expelled!* isn't just about making dialogue choices. Every decision you make—from where you go, to whom you speak, and what you say—has a profound impact on the unfolding narrative. NPCs roam the school in real-time, reacting to your actions and influencing the story's direction. Some may offer assistance, while others might work against you. The question remains: who can you trust?
Your path to exoneration is not set in stone. You have the freedom to solve the mystery or resort to deception and manipulation. Need an alibi? Convince a friend to cover for you. Feeling cornered? Shift the blame onto another. The more you push the boundaries, the more options become available to you.
Each playthrough of *Expelled!* lasts approximately 30-45 minutes, but the experience is unique each time. Your choices unlock new clues, lead to different endings, and reveal hidden secrets scattered throughout the school. Discover why the cellar is locked or what your best friend is concealing. Successfully avoid expulsion, and you might even ascend to the rank of Head Girl.
