"Expelled! Game Challenges Players to Clear Name or Frame Others"
At Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls, a serious incident has unfolded: a school prefect has been pushed out of a window, and you're the one everyone is pointing fingers at. In the gripping new mystery game, Expelled!, developed by inkle, the creators of Overboard!, you have just one day to clear your name or cleverly shift the blame onto someone else.
Set in the spring of April 1922, Expelled! puts you in the shoes of Verity Amersham, a scholarship student at an elite boarding school. Voiced by the talented Amelia Tyler, known for her role in Baldur’s Gate 3, Verity has always tried to keep a low profile. But now, accused of attempted murder, she must navigate the treacherous waters of suspicion and deceit to save herself.
In Expelled!, your choices are far from simple. Every decision you make—from where you go, to whom you speak, and what you say—shapes the narrative in profound ways. The non-player characters (NPCs) at the school move in real-time, reacting dynamically to your actions and the unfolding events. Some might offer assistance, while others could actively work against you. The question remains: who can you trust?
You have the option to unravel the mystery through investigation, but you can also resort to lying, misdirection, or manipulation to ensure your safety. Need an alibi? Convince a friend to cover for you. Feeling cornered? Maybe it's time to pin the blame on another. The more you stretch the boundaries of morality, the more pathways to resolution you unlock.
Each playthrough of Expelled! lasts approximately 30-45 minutes, yet no two experiences are identical. Your choices lead to new clues, alternate endings, and hidden secrets scattered throughout the school. Explore why the cellar is locked or what secrets your best friend is keeping. And if you manage to avoid expulsion, you might even climb the ranks to become Head Girl.

Expelled! is set to launch on March 12th, available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and iOS. Don't miss your chance to dive into this dynamic and ever-changing narrative adventure.
