I did not feel as much love for expelled however, because I was not told about the themes in the game until having played it. There is blasphemy in it…according to the game after I had already played two rounds. Obviously, I didn’t get very far lol because I am not very good at games like these, but I will say I would have rather had a warning last time. I am a Christian and I would not have purchased this game if I had known. I adore the art style and the idea that you must convince everyone that you didn’t do it, but I don’t love the blasphemy part. Thanks! (No offense to the creators, it’s just not for me.) P.s. if I missed anything in the description, which I’m quite sure I didn’t, then I am so sorry! 😊 ### 3/5 — Great game but…(Spoilers) *2026-01-05* This game has a great story and good graphics and I really enjoyed it at first. However, as I progressed in the story line, I became increasingly uncomfortable. The character you play as (Verity) becomes more evil as the game goes on. At one point, Verity literally allows a demon possess her. The game also features themes like scandal, abortion, voodoo, and other things related to demons. I was so disappointed because the game is very fun to play at first, but the story continued to get more dark and evil as more secrets were revealed, and I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. ### 3/5 — Not the full game *2025-12-22, version 1.1.7* It’s fun and repeatable, but there are some achievements, such as finding out what Nattie is hiding, escaping the owl, and exploring the maze without getting lost that are impossible to complete. I have reset my game and followed a tutorial step by step but it is still impossible to get the correct option for the owl or get the keys from fifi. Please update your mobile version so I can complete all the missions ### 5/5 — Fun cozy game *2025-11-09, version 1.1.7* There are so many different adventures based on what you select to do. I love the variety! This one is slightly easier than Overboard! but I still enjoy it a lot. ### 5/5 — Expelled! *2025-11-02, version 1.1.7* This is a great game! It has lots of twists and turns, and I like the new things they added that wasn’t in Overboard. It was confusing to figure out in the first place, like what I was supposed to do or collect or who I was supposed to talk to. After a couple of runs and a couple of YouTube videos, I got the hang of what to do to access more dialogue and how I wanted to play the game. This game is definitely worth the price, and is great for road trips and more. ### 5/5 — Peak *2025-10-23, version 1.1.7* Peak game. ### 3/5 — Problem *2025-08-30, version 1.1.7* Causes my phone to overheat very quickly ## Frequently asked questions about Expelled! ### What is Expelled! about?
