Considering sending your child to boarding school? You might want to think twice. Apart from the usual suspects of peer pressure, loneliness, and elitism, there's also the risk of being framed for attempted murder! At least, that's the scenario in Expelled!, the latest game from inkle, the creators of the acclaimed Overboard.

In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly model student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. But when a prefect is mysteriously pushed out of a window, Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder. Your mission? Clear your name within the confines of one school day, as the clock ticks and characters move independently around you.

Will you solve the mystery and find the real culprit, or take a more dubious route by framing someone else or resorting to brute force with your hockey stick? The choice is yours, and the path you choose can lead to vastly different outcomes.

An Inkle Masterpiece
It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially given the glowing review from Catherine Dellosa. Inkle, the studio behind my personal favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the thrilling murder mystery Overboard!, continues to excel with this new release. While Verity may not be as sinister as some of inkle's previous protagonists, you can choose to play it straight, pin the crime on another, or unleash your inner vigilante. And, as you dive deeper, you might discover that Verity's innocence isn't as clear-cut as it initially appears.

To uncover the full story and see how it unfolds, you'll need to play Expelled! yourself. And if you're eager to stay updated on the best upcoming releases, you're in the right place. We've already compiled a list of the most anticipated games for 2025, ready for you to explore!
