Expelled! An Overboard Game review
Far from cribbing Overboard's homework, Expelled! is a tighter, more focused detective story that really makes the most of its replayable timeloop structure.
Thankfully, Louisa doesn't die from her injuries, but this deplorable act of treachery against the school's most vaunted student is still enough to put you in the hotseat for instant expulsion - a fate you need to avoid by proving your innocence and finding the real culprit who did it instead. Finding the right pieces of information at the right time, not to mention getting folks alone so they're more likely to open up about particular issues, all comes down to the decisions you make in the moment, and Inkle's malleable and reactive script does a splendid job of letting you take the reins in your own investigation. Heck, it's even there in the way Miss Mulligatawny herself tells you on your second visit to her office that you'll need to stand up for yourself if you're ever going to survive outside of these walls, effectively instructing you to break your perfect, goody two-shoes status and be deliberately naughty with the dialogue choices you make, even if it seems rude or impertinent in the moment.
