Framed for Murder at Girls' Boarding School: Was It You?

Have you ever wondered why someone would choose to send their child to a boarding school? Between the peer pressure, the isolation, and the sometimes elitist atmosphere, it's a tough sell. And if that's not enough, imagine your child being accused of pushing someone out of a window! That's the dramatic scenario you'll find yourself in with Expelled!, the latest offering from inkle, the creators of 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. When a prefect is pushed out of a window, Verity finds herself accused of attempted murder. With only one school day to clear her name, you must navigate a world where characters move and act independently, creating a race against time.

Your mission is to clear Verity's name, and you can do so through various means. Whether you choose to find the real culprit, frame someone else, or resort to using your hockey stick to 'persuade' your way to acquittal, the choice is yours. The game offers a dynamic environment where your decisions directly impact the outcome.

It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially given the glowing review by Catherine Dellosa. Inkle, known for my personal favorite mobile game, 80 Days, has once again struck gold with this engaging visual novel. While Expelled! features a less sinister protagonist than Overboard, you can choose to play it straight, pin the crime on someone else, or even turn Verity into a teenage vigilante. And there's a twist—you might find that Verity isn't as innocent as she initially appears.

You'll have to dive into Expelled! yourself to unravel the full story. And if you're eager to stay updated on the latest and greatest upcoming games, you're in the right spot. Check out our list of the best upcoming games for 2025 to see what's on the horizon!
