In the gripping narrative of *Expelled!*, the latest mystery game from inkle, the creators of *Overboard!*, you find yourself embroiled in a high-stakes drama at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls. The setting is April 1922, and you are Verity Amersham, a scholarship student voiced by the talented Amelia Tyler, known for her role in *Baldur's Gate 3*. Your life at this elite boarding school takes a drastic turn when you're accused of pushing a school prefect out of a window. With only one day to clear your name, every decision you make counts.
*Expelled!* isn't just about choosing dialogue options; it's about navigating a living, breathing world where your actions have real consequences. The non-player characters (NPCs) move around the school in real-time, reacting to your every move. Your choices determine who you can trust and who might be plotting against you. Will you solve the mystery, or resort to deceit and manipulation to save yourself? You might need to concoct an alibi or even pin the blame on someone else. The more you bend the rules, the more paths open up before you.
Each playthrough of *Expelled!* lasts about 30-45 minutes, yet no two runs will feel the same. The choices you make unlock new leads, outcomes, and hidden secrets scattered throughout the school. You might uncover why the cellar is locked or what secrets your best friend is keeping. If you manage to avoid expulsion, you can even strive to become Head Girl, pushing the boundaries of your daring further.
