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

If you've ever wondered about the allure of boarding schools, consider the thrilling new game Expelled! from inkle, the masterminds behind the acclaimed Overboard. In this latest release, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a schoolgirl at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. Verity finds herself accused of an unthinkable crime—attempted murder—after a prefect is pushed out of a window. The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking; you have just one school day to clear your name by any means necessary.

In Expelled!, your journey involves navigating a dynamic environment where characters move and act independently. Whether you choose to uncover the true culprit, frame an innocent, or resort to more direct methods like using your hockey stick, the path to acquittal is yours to decide. The game offers a blend of mystery and moral ambiguity, as Verity might not be as innocent as she initially appears.

inkle's reputation precedes them, having crafted what I consider one of the best mobile games ever, 80 Days, and the engaging murder-mystery visual novel Overboard. Expelled! continues this tradition of excellence, allowing players to explore different strategies ranging from the virtuous to the violent. Catherine Dellosa's glowing review further cements the game's appeal.

For those eager to dive into this suspenseful narrative, Expelled! promises a rich experience filled with twists and turns. And if you're looking to stay ahead of the curve with gaming trends, don't miss our curated list of the best upcoming games for 2025, ready for you to explore.
