What is Expelled!?

You play Verity Amersham, a scholarship student facing expulsion for attempted murder, in a detective visual novel set at an English girls' boarding school in 1922. Each repeatable run spans one school day: you question students and teachers, sneak around, and use secrets to identify the culprit or frame someone else. Other characters act independently and remember your actions.

For you if...

+you enjoy dialogue-heavy investigations with morally questionable choices
+you prefer short runs that reward experimenting with different routes

Not for you if...

−you want an action-focused game with little reading
−you dislike time limits and tracking other characters' movements
