Very cool (and strange) puzzle, I liked finding the regions quite a bit, the final disambiguation is quite nice. I struggled way more with the classic sudoku part, it didn't need any tricks or theory but targeting and finding the right cells is hard especially with the minimalist layout. I recommend this puzzle to anyone who enjoy hard classic sudoku without the need to advanced theory or tricks.
