Overboard dev announces Expelled for Nintendo Switch

Inkle, the studio behind the 2021 game Overboard, has announced Expelled as it’s next game. It’s heading to Nintendo Switch on March 12, 2025.

Expelled is a mystery with a wicked twist in the style of Overboard. After a school student was pushed out of a window and you’re blamed for the crime, you have one day to clear your name by uncovering the true culprit.

We’ve got more information in the following overview:

April, 1922. Verity Amersham (voiced by Amelia Tyler, Baldur’s Gate 3) is a scholarship student at one of England’s top boarding schools. She’s always tried to be good – making her the perfect patsy when a prefect is pushed out a window. Can you keep Verity from being expelled?

Key Features

• A next-gen visual novel with a wicked twist. Choose every line and every action. Go where you want, when you want. But remember, your classmates and teachers are watching!
• Choices that really matter. Build and execute your strategy, but watch out: every decision has consequences.
• NPCs with their own agendas. Other characters move around the school in real time. Will you mislead them? Avoid them? Blackmail them? Silence them? It’s up to you.
• Massively replayable. Each run can be wildly different. What you learn in one playthrough gives you new things to try in the next.
• How bad will you be? Verity wants to be good, but dire straits can make anyone a little naughty. How low will you stoop to save your skin?
