Fill the grid with the digits 1-9 such that there are no repeats within any of the regions.
Repeats ARE allowed in rows and columns. However, if two cells are a chess bishop's move apart, they can't have the same value.
Adjacent digits along the halo have a difference of at least 4.
The digits separated by the white dot are consecutive.
Digits separated by an X sum to 10 and digits separated by a V sum to 5. Not all X's and V's are given.
Regions split cyan lines into segments whose digits sum to the same number.
The digits in killer cages do not repeat and sum to the indicated total.
Each magenta renban line connects a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
The digits separated by the black dot are in a 1:2 ratio.
Note that finding the correct digit for a cell will not necessarily remove the fog for that cell or any of its neighbors.
Solution code: row 1, from left to right

The fact normal sudoku rules do NOT apply makes this very challenging when trying to eliminate options. But it’s a great puzzle indeed!

During playtesting, I did struggle to notice some of the cells seeing each other. Glad you enjoyed.
