Beautiful puzzle, thanks. I did get a bit stuck in a few places but by and large it flowed very smoothly.

Very nice! Paradoxically, I feared quite intensely that my lack of paranoia would get me in trouble in this one. Luckily I managed to avoid mistakes, although there were a couple of close calls. Great puzzle!

Beautiful setting. It takes a while to orient with double digit cell concept but once mind is trained, everything flows logically.

Lovely puzzle. Pretty easy once you know the break-in beforehand :P

Got "brainwashed" by myself at the first 15 mins, but after that it went smoothly and satisfyingly, which wasn't what I expected at all for a 5/5 diff puzzle. Thank you for this puzzle :)

Great puzzle! Consistently interesting and challenging throughout!

Thank you, Magnus! I must admit, in your hidden comment, your method of resolving box 9 is much more natural than the step I was setting around, and I'm honestly shocked I didn't consider that while setting.

Wow ! That was very very beautiful ! I'm really into these S-cells sudokus and this one did not disappoint ! Loved the first steps and also the logic that led me to the 15 cage in box 3. The end was a little trickier. Thanks for setting this !

Thank you for the kind words, Christounet! I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle. BTW, I have explained the tricky end parts in a hidden comment, if you are interested.

To anyone that attempted in the past hour- I apologize! I uploaded the puzzle without the given 4, for whatever reason.
