I had the idea for a minimal kropki/fog puzzle for a while but didn't know how to package it properly. Then Scojo issued a challenge for an ambiguity puzzle and making the dots ambiguous turned out to be the final puzzle piece. Thanks to the CtC fan discord for testing and feedback.

Agree with others both on fun design and being 2*

Thanks for the lovely puzzle! Once I got the break-in and the implications of it the rest of it flowed so smoothly.

A very beautiful puzzle, I enjoyed it very much. But, as others have mentioned before, I also wouldn't rate it as 1star. Please remember that not everyone is at CTC level ...

I am back to sudoku after long time and thanks to this wonderful puzzle I think I am back in game. I felt this as 2* difficulty though.

Thanks, this was fun. Took me a bit to figure out how to start but once I did, it flowed nicely.

Surprisingly challenging! Beautiful use of ambiguity; for such a straight-forward ruleset, it certainly gets pushed to its limits. Amazing job (as always).

I bloody loved this. Definitely wasn't a 1 star for me, at least a solid 2.
One of the most elegant and beautiful break-ins I've seen in a FOW. Not in terms of difficulty, it was quite easy to get it, but just sheer loveliness.
I have seen ambiguous kropki dots done before but not with as much class as this.
Great song too!

I went for a solve, on a winter's day. Got lost in the fog, I found along the way. Kropkifornia Dreaming!

Lovely idea! At some stages I feared I'd get stuck, but it was very cleverly set, and I could finish this.
Bravo, very good puzzle!

I'm surprised I haven't seen ambiguous dots before in a sudoku. Glad someone finally made one. It worked well for this puzzle!
