I'm in the first area. I got the flowers. I went into the water like she told me. Now what? I can't click on any other area except the one I just came from and when I talk to the sister she's like "WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME?!!?".

Simply draw your path to any of the neaby chambers. You'll be taught what to do once you get there.

I am an idiot. Thank you.

Not at all, is just we're so used to have like a thousand pointing arrows on what to do on so many other blockbuster games that here we feel like totally abandoned, even being an international release [I've read that before it was like feeling naked, he] And I totally love that there's just too few arrow and the logic is so different from other games. It took me like 5 cycles to get what was nerva and what was lympha xD

Well, in the 2008 game there weren't any "tasks", you just spent pretty much the whole game doing the same thing. That is, feeding the Sisters and slowly exploring new areas of the Void. So, with the exception of several story-related events, you were entirely on your own, the only "task" being to get the hell out of here. The balance, though, was easier than in this new release. The trees could be used only once, but they were way stronger than they are now.
