Hanging mistletoe in doorways has become a popular tradition, and it is believed that anyone standing underneath it must receive a kiss.

For all these four routes only the bad/despair endings are attainable in the first run.
But despite of this many adorable slice of life scenes, the prologue also made it unmistakenly clear, what this game is about Blood and more blood, it felt like half the time I couldn t see anything because my display was filled with sprinkles of blood. She reminded me of Lili in Piofiore in that regard, because she is the typical caring and housewify MC, who is loved for her tenderness, caring for others and never gets angry.
It was thought to bring good luck and protect against evil spirits. Druids, who were the spiritual leaders of the Celts, believed mistletoe to be a sacred plant and used it in their rituals. They would cut the mistletoe with a golden sickle and catch it in a white cloth before it touched the ground, as it was believed to lose its magical powers if it did.
Shuuen no Virche – Error Salvation Review
The game is set on an island that is cursed by the god of death (depicted as the grim reaper), so that every body dies with the age of 23. But they invented a technology, called revival, that allows you to back up your memory and download it again to a clone. So as soon as you are backed up death becomes nothing more as an inconvenience. The other strange consequence: Everybody looks young, but can be suuuuper old, you won’t know. In general you can’t even see who’s a reliver and who’s not, except for a mark somewhere on the reliver’s body. Because not everybody wants or can be revived, it’s also a matter of money, and therefore social injustice or conscience. There even is a church that is highly against the technology of reliving, because relivers lose their emotions and especially the feeling of romantic love.
The story starts with Ceres, a 18 years old girl, who was raised at several orphanages, because for some reason people who are near to hear befall a terrible death. And that’s why she’s called the daughter of the god of death (or the reaper). Driven into despair by that fate she attempts to kill herself, but is stopped by a mysterious man, Ankou, who introduces himself as the sentinel of death, and wants to enter an agreement with her. Because on the island are occurrences of strange death incidents and he wants to shed light on their origin together with Ceres.
And this hunt for a killer called the executioner takes place in the long common path, that took me about 13 hrs (but keep in mind with looking up a lot of words). During the common path all the characters are introduced and the bonds between characters established.
The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe may have originated from Norse mythology. In the story of Baldur, the god of light and beauty, mistletoe played a pivotal role. Baldur's mother, Frigg, made all the elements of nature promise not to harm her son, but she overlooked mistletoe, thinking it was too small and harmless. Loki, the trickster god, took advantage of this and made an arrow out of mistletoe, which was then used to kill Baldur. After Baldur's death, Frigg declared mistletoe to be a symbol of love and vowed to kiss anyone who stood beneath it. Throughout history, mistletoe has been associated with many magical qualities. It was believed to bring good luck, fertility, and protection against illness and evil spirits. In European folklore, it was often hung in homes to ward off witches and other supernatural beings. In some cultures, mistletoe was thought to have the power to bring about true love and marriage. In other traditions, it was believed that hanging mistletoe in a doorway would protect the home from lightning strikes and fires. Today, mistletoe remains a popular symbol of love and romance during the holiday season. Couples and friends gather under the mistletoe, hoping to steal a kiss. It has become a lighthearted tradition that brings people together and spreads joy and happiness. Whether you believe in the magic of mistletoe or see it simply as a fun holiday tradition, there is no denying its charm and significance. In conclusion, mistletoe has a long history of being associated with magic and folklore. It is a symbol of love, romance, and fertility in many cultures.
