A narrative adventure from inkle Ltd where you navigate a school expulsion hearing by replaying and reframing events to prove your innocence.

Expelled! sits in a quiet but healthy space: solid mid-range residuals, exceptional review sentiment (93.7% positive), and a loyal though small playerbase for a 2025 release. The developer is active, the writing is praised as sharp and charming, and the game builds on inkle's proven formula of branching narrative and time-loop mechanics. This is not a breakout hit, but a steady earner with genuine community affection, making it interesting for publishers seeking catalog depth or for revival campaigns targeting narrative-game enthusiasts who value wit and craft over scale. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Narrative adventures have narrow appeal; peak concurrent players remain in single digits, limiting upside without significant marketing repositioning.
• Risk: Community feedback hints at mechanical fatigue after first playthrough: once the timeline and twist are known, replay incentive drops sharply, capping replayability and long-tail engagement.
