Boarding School Murder Mystery: Framed Student Fights for Freedom

Inkling, the creators of the acclaimed Overboard, unleash their latest interactive fiction masterpiece: Expelled! Step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent schoolgirl wrongly accused (or is she?) of attempted murder at the prestigious (and slightly ominous) Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922.

Why send your child to boarding school? Besides the usual pressures, loneliness, and social hierarchies, apparently, there's also the risk of people being thrown out of windows! At least, that's the reality facing Verity in Expelled!

You have one school day to clear your name, using any means necessary. Will you meticulously uncover the true culprit, cleverly frame someone else, or unleash your inner teenage Punisher with a trusty hockey stick? The narrative unfolds organically, with characters acting independently, creating a thrilling race against time.

An Inkling of Suspense

Recommending Expelled! is easy. Inkling's track record speaks for itself, with the critically acclaimed 80 Days and the wildly popular Overboard! under their belt. While Verity might initially appear less villainous than the protagonist of Overboard!, Expelled! offers a surprising depth of choice. Play it straight, frame someone, or embrace your inner chaos – the choice, and the consequences, are yours.

And remember, Verity might not be as innocent as she seems…
