Could set the half of the first village into color, got to the second one and was not able to activate anything there. The lore notes were readable, though. Good to have these notes, but they gave "only" lore background and no useful instruction how to reconstruct the ominous weave.

The lowpoly environment looked ok and at least it was an environment where I could move rather freely - aside from walking the stairs of the houses. A lot of invisible barriers at unusual places, jumping not possible everywhere; this is a very contained area. I liked the color/no color effect and the SFX.

I think the game needs more feedback, for example by clicking on the nodes. When I see "Left-click to connect" and I click and nothing happens then, there should be a message or a sound, maybe a hint. I clicked on every node I found in the second village - not only once - and nothing happened. Was is the wrong sequence? Is there a sequence needed at all? Do I have to switch on a generator first? Why did it work in the first village and not here? I'll never know.

I couldn’t fully solve the puzzle, but I did manage to repair the bridge and turn about half the level back into color 

The puzzle itself was interesting, though the level felt a bit too big sometimes. Running from lantern to lantern while trying to figure things out started to feel like it took forever 

That nice you added a minimal UI and sound effects for the different actions in the game too
