No idea what im supposed to be doing.

So I got this game with humble and heared it was pretty good.
Little problem.
I don't really know what to do.
So the first thing in the game was going right which lead to a dead end then south, same thing.
So going left I had a fair ammount of gameplay and kind of liked it.
But now I think im supposed to collect these purple things on the map but they are a ♥♥♥♥♥ to find and I have no clue what to call them when trying to find it on google or something.
So now I am at the point of saying the open world killed this game and I need help from the discussion page before I can progress any further.

The pink things are modules. You can find a guide on steam that will give you a complete walkthrough of where to find them. I'll get the link in a second.

I'm fine with giving some hints in a game like this since it doesn't really hold your hand that much, but telling a new player to look up a walkthrough? wtf man
Using a guide would defeat the whole purpose of the game, which is basically exploration and some combat. It would be like playing a puzzle game looking up the solutions for each puzzle first... what's the point of even playing then?

Wait so its just collecting the pink thingy's

By right, do you mean east? There should be no obstacles when going east. South is the only blocked region because you're forced to do it last.

About the hints... the game gives you plenty of hints already if you keep your eyes and ears open, for instance the modules (pink triangles) emit an intermittent sound when you're near them, so once you recognize it they're not that hard to find. Secrets are often marked by a small symbol on the ground, and some hidden areas are revealed by stuff like a platform slightly out of view, or an opening in the trees, or the camera changing position when you move in a specific spot.
About actual progress, you can go east, west and north right at the start of the game, the only blocked path is south, so keep exploring and you'll find your way; don't rely too much on the map since it's a bit convoluted (especially the underground) it's much easier to build your own mental map, in my opinion. The map still has an extremely useful teleport system that allows you to warp anytime to any green teleporter you activated previously.

But so that I am clear on everything. I just have to collect the "modules" to progress through the game? I saw that to the left of a map there was still skull that may be a boss battle but the door is locked. So I'm guessing I need to collect those things to progress there.
And to be quite frank I kind of dislike having to find the things on my own. The guy told me there is an audio que when near them but I'm probably gonna use the map anyway just because I mainly enjoy the game for the combat and not for the hopelessly walking through an area hoping the orb is there.
