"Expelled: Clear Your Name by Catching or Framing the Culpit"

At Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls, a shocking event unfolds: a school prefect has been pushed out of a window, and you're the one everyone's pointing fingers at. Dive into the gripping narrative of Expelled!, the latest mystery game from inkle, the masterminds behind Overboard!. Set against the backdrop of April 1922, you have just one day to clear your name or cunningly shift the blame to someone else.

You step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a scholarship student portrayed by the talented Amelia Tyler (known for her role in Baldur's Gate 3). Verity has always strived to stay out of trouble, but now, accused of attempted murder, she must navigate a complex web of intrigue and deceit to save herself.

In Expelled!, your choices are not mere dialogue selections; every action you take—from where you go, to whom you speak, and what you say—shapes the narrative. The non-player characters (NPCs) move dynamically around the school, responding to your actions and the evolving situation. Some may offer help, while others could be plotting your downfall. Who can you really trust?

Your approach to solving the mystery can vary widely. You can attempt to uncover the truth, but you also have the option to lie, mislead, or manipulate others to secure your safety. Need an alibi? Persuade someone to vouch for you. Feeling cornered? You might choose to pin the blame on another. The more you bend the rules, the more pathways and possibilities you unlock.

Each playthrough of Expelled! lasts approximately 30-45 minutes, yet no two runs will ever feel the same. Your decisions lead to new clues, diverse outcomes, and uncover hidden secrets scattered throughout the school. Discover the mystery behind the locked cellar or unravel why your best friend is acting secretive. If you manage to avoid expulsion, you might even strive for the prestigious position of Head Girl.
