Normal Sudoku rules apply
Numbered Rooms: Clues outside the grid indicate the digit to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the digit in the first cell in that direction.
Kropki Pairs: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given..

The challenge, and the fun, remains till the very end! Very clever use of geometry and kropki. Thanks for sharing, @ tallcat :).

Agree with Niverio here. Very nice minimal construction. Thanks.

I like the "less is more" approach taken here, which makes some of the harder deductions more approachable by clearly signaling where to look!

Very engaging solve with lots of interesting deductions all over, it might spark some more potential NR ideas there :)

Numbered Rooms is a fun constraint, and the geometric ideas in this puzzle give it an extra icing of pleasure for me.
