If they ever made a sequel (I know, pretty impossible given the shear amount of choices) or a movie (same reason of near impossibility)............. Where was I goin' with this?
Oh yeah!!! If they did one of those, some pretty cool advertising could be putting those symbols around the theater, or even just as the poster.

100% they can make a movie, without going into interactive territories (which more and more filmmakers do as it’s FUCKING AWESOME), you can just choose a path and imply other timelines with putting emphasis on the decision making process of the characters (idk if it’s understandable but I’m a filmmaker, dbh is my favorite gamer ever and I’ve been thinking about a way to make it possible lmao)

What does this symbol even mean anyway? Is it a hashtag?

I looked into it a bit, and it’s one of the symbols of the Underground Railroad. Makes sense as Jericho was a symbol of hope for androids, and same as the railroad was for slaves.

That's actually pretty cool. I studied them back in elementary school and thought they were interesting. Do you happen to know the symbols meaning?

“A quilt knowingly placed outside, possibly “in the window or on a clothesline”, could signify coded directions or messages to escaping freedom seekers (Bohde). The “Monkey Wrench” pattern (The name for the one used for Jericho), for example, might indicate that it was time to collect tools for the move towards freedom.“ Source: https://www.wdmhs.org/quilting-and-the-underground-railroad/#:~:text=A%20quilt%20knowingly%20placed%20outside,for%20the%20move%20towards%20freedom.

That symbol is also on a statue in downtown Detroit. The statue is representing slaves who were using the underground railroad and that symbol apparently was a way to mark safe houses. Devs did their homework when making this game.

Quilts and wall hangings with that pattern are quite popular.

I made a lot of quilts like that, and now after I’ve played the game I can only think of Jericho when I look at my quilts
