Introduction
(updated as of version 1.4)

While Fallow doesn't have steam achievements, the game shows a grid of symbols in the credits at the end. Which of these are shown depends on in-game actions and events. It is quite mysterious because there is no description of them visible anywhere.



To get this information I had to do a little digging into the game files. For this reason I could add the internal name as well, which can be interesting in some cases.
Main game
These can be scored in the main game. Some of them are unavoidable to get to the end credits in the first place.

Outside the boundaries of the story
The rest of the symbols can only be found after opening and entering through the sealed door in Vivianne's glade.

Conclusion
The following symbol was only added to the credits in version 1.4 (making a total of 24): . Before that, it was in the tile set but unused.

This is the first steam guide I've ever written so I hope I didn't mess things up too much. Although I'm fairly confident about the descriptions here, some of it is based on my interpretation of game data and I'm not 100% sure. Please let me know if you have any comments or corrections !

As I remember, walking really quickly to the bottom-right did the trick for me. The glitch always catches up with you but what seems important is that the right part (?) of the glitch touches you first.

I'm having a hard time getting to the red pool thing. How do you even get to the corner of the map before the glitch catches up with you?

alright! got it! thank you! So thats where you get the last symbol. cool!
Tally ho, Lads! 13 Sep, 2021 @ 4:32am 
Ah i see, i will try that

That's the right exit. between the scary trees. It looks like the requirement is that you found the symbol in the Heileigh skids elevator, first.

like this is what youre talking about right? https://i.imgur.com/4sSJEB4.png either im missunderstanding or something is wrong

i did as u said but it just bounces me back too? am i doing something wrong?

Right, you can only find it on day four, when the highway is one long scrolling map and other exits bounce you back. Just head into the exit where the farm was on other days.

As for it just being a tracker: I'm pretty sure it is. It's remotely possible that a certain symbol being associated with a certain area may have a special relevance, I don't know. I don't think we figured out whether the symbols are used in some kind of language, in in-game books and such. But the credit screen is simply all the glyphs of its "alphabet" in order.

Also yeah now that we do have all symbols i think its def confirmed this is just a tracker right?
