The error message means that the game can't run with the current setup and/or settings.

Do you have a laptop with a good graphics card? If so, make sure you're running the game using your better graphics card, instead of the poor, built-in one.

The error message means that the game can't find a graphic card on your PC that can do the shaders the game needs. Shaders are required to draw everything, to get special effects on stuff, and to animate the characters.

Shader fallback is the shaders that draw everything, but without the special effects, so it runs on weaker computers. These don't exist yet, for Overgrowth, and they will likely not exist for a long while.:(
