Four Winds Killer
Inspiration for this type comes from Franjo.
Solve online in Penpa+ (thx Dandelo!)
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Divide all cells of the grid in cages (dotted outlined regions), such that each cage contains one of the small given numbers. These numbers indicate the sum of the digits in that cage, and all digits within the cage must be different. Furthermore, the clue cell is a Four Winds cell: from this cell the cage extends strictly horizontally and/or vertically, and the digit in the cell indicates how many cells are covered by the cage, excluding the clue cell itself.
Solution code: Row 9, followed by column 6.

Some of my brain cells are probably scattered into the four winds now, too. A real killer.
Great puzzle :)
