Horrors in the Fog
(Published on 22. November 2022, 01:35 by vfig)
Horrors in the Fog
Dense fog drapes the coast; strange noises echo; unearthly creatures arise and threaten the town!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- The grid is covered with fog, except around the lighthouse. Correct digits will clear the fog around them.
- Nine Horrors are hidden in the fog, one in each row and column. The Horrors are odd (very odd!).
- Along the blue and green lines, adjacent digits must differ by at least 5.
- In each cell on the green line is a soldier taking aim at a Horror; the digit in the cell shows the distance along the row or column from that cell to the Horror.
- Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in its circle. Arrows do not overlap.
- Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive.
- Cells with a grey square are even.
- When the puzzle is complete, the digit in R5C6 will reveal the fate of the lighthouse keeper.

I love FoW! I was confused by the rules at first, but after getting it sorted out, the solve was fun. Thanks!

That was brilliant idea and the storyline. Thank you very much. And FoW really is the future of sudoku puzzles.

I suspected what the fate would be about halfway through the puzzle, but I had to finish it first

Really cool puzzle! It had a smooth flow, some cool logic and a nice story/theme. The fate of the lighthouse keeper is clever. Took me a few seconds of scratching my head to get it :)
