Ever wondered about the appeal of sending your child to a boarding school? Beyond the usual challenges like peer pressure, loneliness, and an air of elitism, you might also encounter something as dramatic as a student being pushed out of a window! While this isn't the norm at every institution, it's certainly the case in Expelled!, the latest offering from inkle, the masterminds behind the acclaimed game Overboard.
In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a model student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in the year 1922. When a prefect is mysteriously pushed out a window, Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder. With just one school day to clear her name, the clock is ticking. Characters move and act independently, adding urgency to your quest. You can choose to clear your name by uncovering the true culprit, framing someone else, or resorting to less savory methods like wielding your hockey stick.
It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially given the glowing review by Catherine Dellosa. Inkle's previous hit, 80 Days, remains my personal favorite mobile game, and their success continued with the engaging murder-mystery visual novel, Overboard. While Expelled! casts you as the less sinister Verity, you have the freedom to navigate the game with integrity, shift the blame, or embrace a darker path reminiscent of a teenage vigilante. And let's not forget the intriguing twist: Verity might not be as innocent as she initially appears.
To uncover the full story, you'll have to dive into Expelled! yourself. If you're eager to stay updated on the latest and greatest upcoming releases, you're in the perfect spot. We've already compiled a list of the best upcoming games for 2025, ready for you to explore!
