First things first, the house you choose matters little, as it is only meant for the common room, colors, and experience. It makes little difference in the game, so choose your favorite. Second, the castle school is full of secrets, which might be a great experience, but you will need loads of time to uncover every secret. And lastly, the game works fairly well on PS5 but seems to be a little high graphic, so use a good system.
