Framed as Killer in Girls' Boarding School: Was It You?

Why would anyone choose to send their child to boarding school? Between the peer pressure, the loneliness, and the air of elitism, there's also the risk of someone being pushed out of a window! Well, perhaps that's not typical, but it's certainly the case at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922, the setting for inkle's latest release, Expelled!.

In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, the school's model student, who finds herself accused of attempted murder when a prefect is mysteriously pushed out of a window. Your mission? To clear your name within a single school day, navigating a world where characters act independently, creating a tense race against time.

Your path to exoneration can take various forms. Whether you choose to find the real culprit, frame an innocent, or resort to using your hockey stick as a weapon, the choice is yours. This flexibility in gameplay showcases inkle's signature style, which was brilliantly demonstrated in their acclaimed titles like 80 Days and the murder mystery Overboard!.

While Verity may not be as sinister as some of inkle's past protagonists, Expelled! offers the freedom to play as virtuous or as ruthless as you wish. And there's a twist—Verity might not be entirely innocent herself, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative.

If you're eager to dive into this captivating story, Expelled! is a must-play. And for those looking to stay ahead of the curve, don't miss our curated list of the best upcoming games for 2025!
