Why would anyone consider sending their child to a boarding school? Between the peer pressure, isolation, and inherent elitism, it's a tough sell. And if you throw in incidents like someone being pushed out of a window, it might make you think twice. But that's precisely the scenario in inkle's latest release, Expelled!, where you step into the shoes of Verity Amersham, a schoolgirl accused of attempted murder at Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls in 1922.

In Expelled!, you're tasked with clearing your name within a single school day. The clock is ticking as characters move and act independently around you. Your goal? To prove your innocence, whether by uncovering the true culprit, framing someone else, or resorting to more... aggressive methods with your hockey stick. The choice is entirely yours!

It's easy to recommend Expelled!, especially without even delving into Catherine Dellosa's glowing review. Inkle, the creators behind my personal favorite mobile game, 80 Days, and the thrilling murder mystery Overboard!, have once again struck gold. While Verity Amersham may not be as sinister as some of inkle's past protagonists, you can choose to play the game straight, pin the crime on someone else, or unleash your inner vigilante. And, there's a twist—Verity might not be as innocent as she initially appears.

To unravel the mystery, you'll need to play Expelled! for yourself. And if you're eager to stay informed about the best upcoming releases, you're in the right place. We've already compiled a list of the top games to watch out for in 2025, ready for you to explore!
