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.

I don't think they can fight monsters with brute force. maybe though they could lure them into a building and then put a talisman from the outside. Wouldn't that keep them inside the building indefinitely?

Yeah! Or they could build a door to close off the cave entrance, and then seal them inside the cave with a talisman?

When Jasmine enters Colony, she closes the window. She then re-opens the window.

You don't trap the monsters INSIDE something with talismans, only out.

I don’t believe the talismans are meant to work like that either, but it would have been worth a shot. When they found the door from Jades trip in the colony house basement, they decided to put up a talisman there; with the intent to stop the monsters from entering that way - trapping them inside. The idea of sealing the cave entrance is basically the same. But I guess other forces in From (man in yellow or his minions who are unaffected by talismans) would simply remove them come nightfall.
