Someone has to take the fall

Expelled! challenges you to clear your name by catching the culprit or framing someone else
  • A girl has been pushed out of a window, and you’re blamed for it
  • Every choice of yours affects the characters around you
  • No two runs will feel the same

Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls has a problem. A school prefect has been pushed out of a window, and everyone says you did it. In Expelled!, the latest mystery from inkle, creators of Overboard!, you have one day to clear your name or find someone else to take the fall.

Set in April 1922, Expelled! follows Verity Amersham, a scholarship student at an elite boarding school. Voiced by Amelia Tyler (Baldur’s Gate 3), Verity has spent years trying to stay out of trouble. But when she’s accused of attempted murder, staying out of trouble is no longer an option.

This isn’t a case of simple dialogue choices. Every action you take, where you go, who you talk to, and what you say, affects how the story unfolds. NPCs move around the school in real-time, reacting to what they see and hear. Some will help you, while others will try to bring you down. Who can you trust?

You can try to solve the mystery, but you can also lie, mislead, or manipulate your way to safety. Need an alibi? Convince someone to cover for you. Feeling desperate? Pin the blame on someone else. The more you bend the rules, the more options open up.

Each playthrough lasts about 30-45 minutes, but no two runs are the same. The choices you make lead to new leads, different outcomes, and hidden secrets throughout the school. Figure out why the cellar is locked or why your best friend is hiding. And if you avoid expulsion, you can go even further and risk to the rank of Head Girl.

Set to a soundtrack featuring jazz legends like George Gershwin, Louis Armstrong, and Bessie Smith, Expelled! blends a tense mystery with a dynamic, ever-changing story. How you clear your name, or how far you’ll go to do it, is entirely up to you. 

Expelled! arrives March 12th on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
