Clear your schedules for today, as Expelled!, inkle’s latest interactive mystery game, just landed. If you loved Overboard!, you’ll love this game as well. It’s available right now on Nintendo Switch, Steam (PC/Mac), and iOS.

School’s gone wrong

It’s April 1922. You’re Verity Amersham, voiced by the fantastic Amelia Tyler (yep, the voice talent from Baldur’s Gate 3).

Verity’s a scholarship kid at a fancy British boarding school who always does the right thing. So when some prefect suddenly takes a nosedive out of a window, everyone points the finger at you. You’ve got exactly one day to prove you’re innocent – or to frame someone else for the crime. Your choice, your call – you skin in the game.

Check the trailer below to see what to expect:

Gameplay That’s Actually Your Call

Expelled! is not your regular visual novel where, no matter what choices you make, you get to the same ending and same dialog lines.

Instead, every decision, every conversation, and every shady move is yours to control. Go anywhere and do whatever you want – but remember, the clock’s ticking, and the entire school’s got eyes on you.

Lie, cheat, mislead, or even blackmail classmates and teachers – anything to dodge the blame. Just watch your back because every action changes the game’s outcome, and you might not like all of them. (I’m sure you will, though!)

Here’s the kicker: characters aren’t just waiting around for you. NPCs roam the halls, following their own plans and schedules. It’s dynamic, so you’ve gotta think ahead. Stalk them, avoid them, or manipulate them – it’s all up to you. Really nice mechanics that take visual novels one step ahead on the “coolness” radar.

Endless Replayability

Replayability here is huge, according to the game’s developers. Each session feels completely fresh, and every discovery from previous runs unlocks new possibilities next time. Experiment and get creative – there’s plenty of mischief to make.

Sure, Verity wants to stay squeaky clean, but desperate times mean questionable decisions. How ruthless will you be to avoid expulsion? Time to find out.

Jump into Expelled! now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and iOS!
