Expelled! challenges you to clear your name by catching the culprit or framing someone else

A shocking incident has rocked Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls: a school prefect has been pushed from a window, and you, Verity Amersham, are the prime suspect. In Expelled!, the gripping new mystery from inkle (creators of Overboard!), you have just one day to clear your name—or find a scapegoat.

Set in April 1922, you play Verity, a scholarship student navigating the treacherous social landscape of an elite boarding school. Voiced by Amelia Tyler (of Baldur’s Gate 3 fame), Verity must overcome years of careful avoidance to fight for her innocence.

This isn't your typical choose-your-own-adventure. Every decision—your actions, movements, conversations—shapes the narrative in real-time. The school's inhabitants react dynamically to your choices, forming alliances and rivalries. Trust is a precious commodity; who will stand by you, and who will betray you?

You can choose to solve the mystery honestly, or employ deceit and manipulation to secure your freedom. Craft an alibi, convince others to take the fall, or bend the rules to unlock new possibilities. The more you deviate from the truth, the more avenues open up.

Each playthrough is a unique experience, lasting approximately 30-45 minutes. Your choices unearth new clues, lead to diverse outcomes, and reveal hidden secrets within the school's walls. Unravel the mystery of the locked cellar, discover your best friend's hidden agenda, and strive for the ultimate prize: the coveted position of Head Girl.
