New game "Expelled!" explores choices and identity themes

The new game "Expelled!" from Inkle follows a student at a Christian girl’s school who is accused of pushing a classmate through a window. Players must navigate a series of choices to clear her name or face expulsion. This game builds on the narrative style of 2021's "Overboard!" by featuring an unreliable narrator. Players experience the story through the eyes of Verity, who often lies to escape trouble, leading to various outcomes based on their decisions. "Expelled!" also incorporates a moral element, tracking players' behavior as they balance lying and maintaining a good image. The game explores themes of identity and authority, making it a unique coming-of-age experience. It is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
