The FC House (ＦＣ家) is a deeper location that is accessed from the Static Maze in Shield-Folk World. It's normally the first FC World that most of the players discover due to it being closest to the Nexus. When visiting the area, the player first comes across the FC Field, a small area with lots of trees, and the FC House. When entering the house, the player can go down to the FC Basement (ＦＣ地下, FC Underground), where there are many branching paths.
Points of Interest[]
The FC Field has a cute melody BGM unlike most of the minor or negative BGM in the game. Not only that, but it is also a full song rather than a short loop, being the only instance of such in the game. Due to the short length of the FC Field and House areas, it's likely that some players don't hear the song beyond the first looping section before they enter the FC Basement.
Inside the FC House, there is not much to do other than go down the stairs and into the FC Basement. Various doors and staircases in the basement will take Madotsuki to different sections, with some rooms standing out from the others. A castle-like room with a few odd NPCs known as the Goblins can be found, as well as an isolated section in FC World A. The deepest part of the basement has the FC Demon's Room, which is surrounded by mushroom-like Kinoko-san. Interacting with the FC Demon inside gives the player the Demon effect. There is a 1/8 chance in a certain room of FC World B that the same demon will appear, taking the player to this room upon interaction, without a way to return.

Trivia[]
Ninten's House, which the FC House exterior resembles.
- The FC Field area greatly resembles Ninten's House from the video game Mother (also known as EarthBound Beginnings).
- Due to the FC Field having a full BGM track, it is possible to hear the music fade out before it loops if the player stays in the Field or House areas for long enough.
- The FC Field, House, and Basement areas have had various changes throughout the game's versions:
- In version 0.04, the house was larger and had a burgundy-colored roof. There were also less rooms in the FC Basement and the FC Demon's Room was not implemented (though the room's music can be found in the game's files, unused). Despite not providing an effect at that point in development, the FC Demon can still be found in the first room of the FC House.
- The Thumbs.db files of this version also reveal other aspects that may have been used in older versions or planned to be implemented. There are panoramic backgrounds for the Basement rooms (though they are just images of the room's themselves), a picture of the FC House with no staircase, and an image of the FC Field with no trees and what appears to be a second ladder in front of the House (which may have been intended to be the original Basement entrance, considering the aforementioned FC House picture).
- In versions 0.04 through 0.09, the trees in the FC Field had a different appearance, more closely resembling pine trees. These were changed in version 0.10.
- In version 0.06, the house much more closely resembled its final appearance, but was still a tad thicker. The house remained this way up to version 0.09, and even retained the larger house's collision from version 0.04, meaning that the empty space between the trees and right side of the house could not be walked through.
- The music in the FC Basement and the Goblins' Room used different instrumentation in older versions.
- In version 0.04, the house was larger and had a burgundy-colored roof. There were also less rooms in the FC Basement and the FC Demon's Room was not implemented (though the room's music can be found in the game's files, unused). Despite not providing an effect at that point in development, the FC Demon can still be found in the first room of the FC House.
