House
- For the religion, see The House of Change

Description
Despite being primarily a place of worship for Change, the House used to be very welcoming to anyone, including those who did not follow it[3]. It was full of light and people[4], with many of them living, working or studying there.
After the King took over, however, it became "distorted"[5]: changing it into an unsettling, "stale state", with rooms and corridors being jumbled around beyond recognition[6].
In the present day, much of it has been frozen in time, with only Tears, Sadnesses and the King remaining.
Story
Months prior to the start of In Stars and Time DEMO[7], the King took over the House: corrupting it, and turning those present either into Sadnesses, or freezing them in time. Mirabelle was the only one who successfully escaped[5].
Characters
Trivia
- Interestingly enough, despite Mirabelle stating that the House possesses an armory simply as part of a class it offers[8], and not because it gets attacked, it does possess traps, under the form of a "Death Corridor"[9] which is capable of killing people[10].
