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

Why would anyone choose a boarding school for their child? Aside from the peer pressure, loneliness, and inherent elitism, there's also the risk of students being pushed out of windows! Well, that might not be a common occurrence everywhere, but it's certainly a plot point in Expelled! from inkle, the creative minds behind Overboard.

In Expelled!, you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a seemingly virtuous student at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922. When a prefect is pushed out of a window, you find yourself accused of attempted murder. Your challenge? To clear your name by any means necessary within a single school day, as other characters move and act independently around you, creating a thrilling race against time. Whether you choose to find the real culprit, frame someone else, or resort to more aggressive tactics like wielding your hockey stick, the decision is yours to make.

It's highly recommended to dive into Expelled!, and that's even before considering Catherine Dellosa's glowing review. Inkle is behind one of my all-time favorite mobile games, 80 Days, and they've continued their success with the engaging murder mystery visual novel, Overboard!. While Expelled! casts you as a less sinister protagonist, you can still choose to play it straight, pin the crime on another, or embrace your inner vigilante. And there's a twist—you might not be as innocent as you initially appear. You'll have to play Expelled! to uncover the full story.
