Even though this is my 4th one of these constraints from you, it was still super fun. But I had to reset like 3 times due to breaking it, but apparently that was me just rushing and eliminating too much too quickly
---I don't deliberately design my puzzles so that it's easy to go wrong, but I have to admit it's a feature. I myself have flown through a test solve with over confidence only to find I've lost my way due to some small oversight.---ATK

i had to sit down like 3 separate times before i exactly realised how this constraint really worked. loved it, thanks!

From internalising the rules to finally solving the puzzle, everything is just so beautiful and despite me having to go back several times because I overlooked some small mistake I’d made the solving went quite smoothly.

Damn I feel like I know the correct method in solving this but I always run into some contradiction with the 3s and 4s
Edit: Thanks I didn't notice the within rule :).
---If I had to guess: you're possibly double-thinking yourself or you've not read the adjacency rule correctly (the word "within" is very important).

Don't give up, come back to me if you're still stuck. Good luck. ---ATK

It looks appetizing and it was. Great puzzle and not too difficult. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice puzzle. Took me a bit to get the hang of it, and from then I kept going straightforward. It has a nice "oh, but then.... Oh but then also..." ordering to it. Thanks for making this!

If you've never done an ATK puzzle, this is a great entry point. It's very approachable!
If you're an ATK veteran, these circles add a dimension to the shading constraint that is incredibly fresh but somehow also simultaneously gives you the feeling that it was waiting to be discovered and appended the whole time.

--- After I'd made this puzzle and given it a first test solve, I then spent a surprising amount of time wondering what I had made. It gives me the heebie-jeebies (and hence its title).

Thanks for the solve and the kind comment.

What a great puzzle!

I had to take a step back for a little while to understand the constraint, but once I did it flowed super nicely from start to finish.

---I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the generous comment. ---ATK

I don't know if every solver will end up with this, but I love the fact that the rule set was needed right up to the last "deadly pattern".

---I can't tell you how many times in my own test solves I see an unanticipated "deadly pattern" and feel a tinge of panic that I might have gone wrong. I'm glad you got a kick out of it. ---ATK
