Considering sending your child to boarding school? Think again. Aside from the usual suspects like peer pressure, loneliness, and an air of elitism, you might also have to deal with attempted murder! At least, that's the thrilling premise of Expelled!, the latest game from inkle, the masterminds behind 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. But when a prefect takes a dive out of a window, you're suddenly accused of attempted murder. With only one school day to clear your name, you'll need to navigate a world where characters act independently, racing against the clock to prove your innocence. Will you solve the mystery and find the real culprit, frame someone else, or resort to a more... direct approach with your hockey stick? The choice is yours!

It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially given the glowing review from Catherine Dellosa. Inkle, known for my all-time favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the gripping murder mystery Overboard, has once again struck gold. While Verity may not be as sinister as some of inkle's past protagonists, you can choose to play it straight, pin the crime on someone else, or unleash your inner teenage vigilante. And who knows? Verity might not be as innocent as she seems.

You'll have to dive into Expelled! to uncover the truth for yourself. And if you're eager to stay updated on the best upcoming releases, you're in the right place. Check out our list of the best upcoming games for 2025 to keep your gaming calendar packed with excitement!
