"Expelled! Game Challenges Players to Clear Name or Frame Others"

At Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls, a grave incident has shaken the foundations of this prestigious institution: a school prefect has been pushed out of a window, and you are the prime suspect. In Expelled!, the latest gripping mystery from inkle, the masterminds behind Overboard!, you are thrust into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a scholarship student navigating the treacherous waters of accusation and suspicion. Set against the backdrop of April 1922, this narrative adventure challenges you to clear your name or cunningly shift the blame within a single day.

Voiced by the talented Amelia Tyler, known for her role in Baldur’s Gate 3, Verity has always strived to remain under the radar. But now, accused of attempted murder, she must navigate a labyrinth of choices where every action—every step you take, every conversation you engage in—shapes the unfolding narrative. The non-player characters (NPCs) roam the school in real-time, responding dynamically to your actions and words. Some may offer a helping hand, while others might seek to thwart your efforts. The question lingers: who can you really trust?

In Expelled!, you're not just piecing together clues to solve a mystery; you can also resort to deception, misdirection, or manipulation to secure your safety. Need an alibi? Persuade someone to vouch for you. Feeling cornered? Perhaps you'll find it easier to pin the blame on another. The further you push the boundaries, the more paths and possibilities unveil themselves.

Each playthrough of Expelled! lasts approximately 30-45 minutes, yet no two sessions are ever the same. Your decisions forge new investigative trails, lead to varying outcomes, and unveil the school's hidden secrets. Why is the cellar always locked? What is your best friend concealing? And if you manage to dodge expulsion, could you even aspire to the coveted position of Head Girl?
