Expelled! challenges you to clear your name by catching the culprit or framing someone else

Authore: EricUpdate:Mar 19,2025

Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls is in chaos. A prefect has been pushed from a window, and you, Verity Amersham, are the prime suspect. In Expelled!, the gripping new mystery from inkle (creators of Overboard!), you have just one day to clear your name—or find a scapegoat.

Set in April 1922, you play Verity, a scholarship student navigating the treacherous social landscape of an elite boarding school. Voiced by Amelia Tyler (Baldur’s Gate 3), Verity’s carefully constructed reputation is shattered by this shocking accusation. Survival demands more than just staying out of trouble; it demands cunning.

This isn't a simple choose-your-own-adventure. Every decision—your actions, movements, conversations—shapes the narrative. The school's inhabitants react in real-time to your choices, creating a dynamic and unpredictable environment. Alliances shift, suspicions rise, and trust becomes a luxury you can't afford. Who will aid your escape, and who will betray you?

Solve the mystery legitimately, or employ deception. Fabricate alibis, manipulate witnesses, even frame someone else. The more you bend the rules, the more possibilities unfold.

Each playthrough offers a unique experience, lasting approximately 30-45 minutes. Your choices unlock new clues, lead to varied outcomes, and reveal hidden secrets within the school's walls. Uncover the mysteries of the locked cellar, your friend's clandestine activities, and fight for your future—even aiming for the coveted position of Head Girl.

Accompanied by a captivating soundtrack featuring jazz legends like George Gershwin, Louis Armstrong, and Bessie Smith, Expelled! masterfully blends a suspenseful mystery with a constantly evolving narrative. Your path to exoneration—and the lengths you'll go to achieve it—are entirely in your hands.

Expelled! launches March 12th on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
