Hi PhoenixBlade666, thank you for trying my game. You are missing some sequence dialogs, I mean, you need first talk with some people to know about things, just walk random in the map is not helping, you cannot ask to someone for something that you don't know yet. Probably you are doing a second round of the game. Some hints:
- To ask Richard for the seeds, you need to talk first with Thomas Miller.
- To open the manor area needs to talk with Matilda, also, keep in mind that, as noted on encyclopaedia and Matilda said, the manor area is only open during mornings. Organise your time to be there during mornings.
- For the bucket you need to talk with Cecily, follow some sequence dialogs until someone tells you to talk with Cecily.
Let me know if the hints helps you to progress in the game. Cheers.
P.S. Could be, for some unknown reason, that the game is not working properly, try to save the game, restart the game and load again the saved file.
