I think I accidentally managed to cheat by giving myself the ticket, wasn't sure if I started with it at first but then when I was checking out the source code it seems there is a (possibly left over debug?) command to just add it to the inventory with the O button.
You're also a much cleaner and more sensible coder than I am, I tie my code in knots for game jams but this all seems pretty solid throughout which is a feat in and of itself. I hope because of that you plan on adding more to this, it's great!

Nice job, its really well polished
I was already smiling a few seconds after running the game. It was fun just reading what **wasn't** in the game. Did you guys make all the art?
Would love to play a complete version of it. I confess I didn't solved every puzzle and I'm not sure if there was more stuff to do. Is it possible to get the beholder a drink? I'm bad at it and tend to get lost easily while navigating the world.
It's a bit short and there aren't a lot of clues for the "puzzle"
PROS:
Movement felt satisfying and trying stuff out (like lighting the wood on fire) felt good when it worked.
Conversations were also written pretty nice.
Artstyle is also nice
Gave that feeling between ultima underworld and Strife. Nice atmospheres and hilarious sound FX!
Keep on this incredible work! 5/5
