This puzzle is the evolved form of Quicksand. Enjoy!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku: Place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Killer Cages: Within cages, digits cannot repeat.
Kropki and XV:
- Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.
- Digits joined by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio.
- Digits joined by a V sum to 5.
- Digits joined by an X sum to 10.
Diamonds—Kropki/XV Ambiguity: Digits joined by a gray diamond satisfy at least one of the Kropki/XV relationships listed above.
Lines—Renban/Whispers Ambiguity: Each gray line is either a Renban line or German Whispers line (to be determined while solving), such that:
- Digits on a Renban line form a set of consecutive digits in any order.
- Adjacent digits on a German Whisper line differ by at least 5.
Not all dots, Xs, Vs, or lines are necessarily given.

For two stars, this was fairly tricky. Took nearly 30 minutes for me. Very nicely done!

The geometry forced by the cages was a lot of fun
