Framed for Murder at Girls' Boarding School: Who's the Real Culprit?

If you're pondering the merits of sending a child to boarding school, consider the unique challenges and dramatic scenarios that might unfold. Take, for instance, the thrilling narrative of Expelled!, a new release from inkle, the creators behind the acclaimed Overboard. In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent schoolgirl at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. The plot thickens when Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder after a prefect is mysteriously pushed out of a window.

With only one school day to clear her name, Verity must navigate a web of intrigue and deceit. The game's dynamic environment means characters move and act independently, adding urgency to your quest. Your path to exoneration could involve uncovering the true culprit, framing another, or even resorting to more violent means like wielding a hockey stick.

Expelled! is highly recommended, not only for its engaging gameplay but also for the stellar review by Catherine Dellosa. Inkle's track record, including my personal favorite mobile game 80 Days and the gripping visual novel Overboard, speaks volumes about their storytelling prowess. While Expelled! features a less sinister protagonist than Overboard, players can choose to play it straight, pin the crime on another, or unleash a more aggressive side. And there might be more to Verity's innocence than meets the eye.

To experience the twists and turns of Expelled!, you'll need to play it yourself. And if you're eager to stay updated on the latest and greatest upcoming releases, you're in the right place. Our list of the best upcoming games for 2025 is ready for your exploration.
