Expelled!

so sharp, so charming, so fun. full of character and wit, very intelligently designed. just a grand old time! inkle games rule!

It's a good experience. I enjoyed myself with it. I do feel like it is missing something (as did the previous game) from making this a really high quality experience. I think once you've got an idea of the timeline, the game loses it's edge. It could maybe do with something to keep the search for more scenes fresh.

Great game

I enjoyed this game fine up until the mid-point reveal / plot twist, which is the exact same unwelcome "Oh ho ho, the game was lying to you all this time! Isn't that a shocking shift in juxtaposition!" twist that was used in Overboard. Immediately deflated any interest in continuing.

Try not to get expelled...but were you innocent?

After Overboard, another fun and quirky exploration of a "groundhog day" story.

Uh oh, maybe these hockey sticks ain't so jolly after all? You may not be perfect to start with and you may stumble upon and witness some bad things but if you're not the one who did those things and you're honest and trust the instincts of people who know you to be kind and selfless and about as good as the next girl... Well if that's you then you can absolutely count on those with power over you to mercilessly vilify and cruelly punish you for anything they can associate you with in a relentless and unforgiving cycle for as long as there is any self-righteousness in need of justification or a personal advantage to gain. This teaches you to become progressively less honest and more vindictive with each new rejection, trust becomes a brittle veneer you paint over those who serve your interests, meaningless because it shatters the first time it's tested and protects nothing. But you would rather min-max your way through attachments than risk ever trusting someone more than they might trust you. Finally you become just as rotten as those who've been holding power over you and are able to usurp that power for yourself and break the cycle by taking their place. Then you sit at the top, alone and miserable, and in constant need of others you can take down in order to feel a little better about yourself. Yes that's right, this game teaches you everything you need to know about British society!
