"Expelled! Game Challenges Players to Clear Name by Catching Culprit"

At Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls, a shocking incident has thrown everything into chaos: a school prefect has been pushed out of a window, and you're the prime suspect. In Expelled!, the latest mystery from inkle, the acclaimed creators of Overboard!, you have just one day to clear your name or cunningly shift the blame to someone else.

Set in April 1922, Expelled! puts you in the shoes of Verity Amersham, a scholarship student voiced by Amelia Tyler, known for her role in Baldur's Gate 3. Verity has always tried to keep a low profile, but now accused of attempted murder, she must navigate a web of intrigue to save herself.

This game goes beyond simple dialogue choices. Every decision you make—from where you go, to whom you talk, and what you say—dynamically affects the story's progression. Characters move around the school in real-time, responding to your actions and influencing the narrative. Some may become allies, while others could be your downfall. The question remains: who can you trust?

You can choose to unravel the mystery, but you also have the option to lie, deceive, or manipulate your way to freedom. Need an alibi? Persuade someone to vouch for you. Feeling cornered? Perhaps it's time to pin the blame on another. The more you bend the rules, the more paths open up for you.

Each playthrough of Expelled! lasts around 30-45 minutes, yet no two runs are identical. Your choices unlock new clues, alter outcomes, and reveal hidden secrets scattered throughout the school. Discover the mystery behind the locked cellar or why your best friend seems to be concealing something. If you manage to avoid expulsion, you could even aim for the prestigious position of Head Girl.
