Dotflow:Effects

There are 24 effects in .flow that Sabitsuki can collect. Each effect will change Sabitsuki's appearance and some of them can cause Sabitsuki to have different abilities, or cause different events to happen that wouldn't be able to happen otherwise.

Collecting all of these effects is considered to be the main objective of the game, and once doing so will let you unlock the first two endings.

There are also 3 items known as Empty Boxes that can also be collected, but only after Sabitsuki collects all of the effects, and goes into flow again while already flowing, turning into Rust.
