Set in 1922 at an elite English boarding school, Expelled! is a replayable narrative puzzle game developed by inkle, released in 2025 for PC, Mac, iOS, and Nintendo Switch. Players take the role of Verity Amersham, a scholarship student facing expulsion after a school prefect is pushed from a window and the blame falls on her. With a single school day to clear her name — or redirect suspicion toward someone else — Verity must navigate gossip, deception, theft, and manipulation without getting caught. The game features a simulated story world in which other characters move independently, remember observed events, and react accordingly. A distinct morality system rewards morally questionable choices with expanded options. Individual runs last roughly 30–45 minutes, but multiple playthroughs reveal new leads, secrets, and paths, including the possibility of rising to Head Girl. Amelia Tyler, known for Baldur's Gate 3, voices the protagonist. The soundtrack draws on jazz recordings by George Gershwin, Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, and others.
