Framed as Killer in Girls' Boarding School: Was It You?

Considering sending your child to boarding school? Think again! Not only do you have to deal with peer pressure, loneliness, and elitism, but there's also the chance they might get involved in a dramatic attempted murder case! At least, that's the thrilling scenario you'll find in Expelled!, the latest release from inkle, the masterminds behind Overboard.

In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly innocent student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. But when a prefect takes a tumble out of a window, Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder. With just one school day to clear her name, the clock is ticking, and characters are moving independently around you. You can choose to solve the mystery by finding the true culprit, framing someone else, or simply resorting to brute force with your trusty hockey stick.

It's incredibly easy to recommend Expelled!, and not just because of Catherine Dellosa's glowing review. Inkle, known for crafting my personal favorite mobile game, 80 Days, has once again hit the mark with this murder-themed visual novel. While Expelled! features a less sinister protagonist than Overboard, you can still choose to play it straight, pin the crime on another, or unleash your inner vigilante. And, there's a twist: Verity might not be as innocent as she initially appears.

You'll have to dive into Expelled! to uncover the full story. If you're eager to stay updated on the latest and greatest upcoming releases, you're in the perfect spot. Check out our curated list of the best upcoming games for 2025 to keep your gaming calendar packed with excitement!
