Why would anyone choose to send their child to a boarding school? Between the peer pressure, the isolation, and the inherent elitism, it's a tough sell. And if that's not enough, there's the added risk of being implicated in a crime like attempted murder, as seen in inkle's latest release, Expelled!
In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. When a prefect is mysteriously pushed out of a window, Verity finds herself accused of the crime. With only one school day to clear her name, the clock is ticking. Characters move and act independently, adding urgency to your quest for exoneration. You can choose to find the real culprit, frame someone else, or resort to more aggressive tactics like using your hockey stick to clear your path to acquittal.
It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially given inkle's track record. The studio behind the critically acclaimed mobile game 80 Days and the intriguing murder mystery Overboard! has once again delivered a compelling narrative. While Verity may not be as sinister as some of inkle's previous protagonists, players have the freedom to navigate the story with integrity, deceit, or brute force. And there's a twist—Verity might not be as innocent as she initially appears.
To uncover the full story, you'll need to play Expelled! yourself. And if you're eager to stay updated on the latest and greatest upcoming releases, you're in the right place. We've already compiled a list of the best upcoming games for 2025, ready for you to explore!
