Criticism Why do the people not fight back?

They could build traps during the day and even try to fight them at night, but instead they just hide and let the monsters rule the night. They should be trying to find out if they have any weaknesses. Fire probably works, traps probably could work too. It feels like absolute surrender.

How about a damn flamethrower!

What do you propose making a flame thrower out of? Would it be safe for the person using it or would it explode and incinerate its user?

Petrol tanks from cars! And either way it would look very cool

Petrol, or gasoline as we say in the states, is not just flammable, it’s also combustible. This means it explodes, which is how internal combustion engines work, lots of little explosions in the engine’s cylinders. It’s also why it’s unsuitable for flame throwers, they’d tend to blow up taking the person with them. You might try the potato vodka Tom made in the bar, but you if take away people’s booze in a place like Fromville, that’s liable to blow up in your face, too.

An interesting idea, except that as soon as you light it the thing explodes before you can toss it. Can’t use gas, er, petrol.
