What is the goal?

Currently, the only available goal is to beat Beast Bendy at the end of Chapter 5. Starting chapter 5 will require a configurable number of bacon soup cans to be received.

I received an item, but I can't place it where it needs to go?

Since Bendy and the Ink Machine doesn't have a real inventory, you still have to interact with an item to "pick it up". If you don't have an item yet, the interaction will only try to send out the location check, and you will need to interact with the object again after receiving the item to be able to use it fully.
