MULTIVERSE.
Normal 9x9 sudoku rules apply.
Draw a 1-cell wide loop that moves strictly orthogonally and doesn't branch or intersect itself. The loop doesn't touch itself, not even diagonally.
The loop acts as a german whispers line. Neighbouring digits on the loop must have a difference of at least 5.
A digit in a circle indicates how many times that digit must appear in circles.
The circled digits also indicate how many of the up to 8 surrounding cells are on the loop.
Circles are never on the loop.
Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive.
Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
Solution code: column 9 top to bottom

Very nice. A lot of upfront thinking to work out the circled digits and start the path, but once narrowed down the rest flows so quickly after that.
