Rules:
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and marked 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Nosferatu: Nine cells in the grid are Nosferatu cells. They have to be filled with a complete set of the digits from 1-9. Each row, column and marked 3x3 box contains exactly one Nosferatu cell.
There also are nine Prey cells following the same rules as the Nosferatu cells. A cell can only have one of these roles.
A Nosferatu cell sucks off the Prey cell in the same marked 3x3 box. Therefore the value of a Prey cell is 0 and the value of a Nosferatu cell is the sum of the digits in the Nosferatu cell and the Prey cell in the same marked 3x3 box.
7-Whisper: The values of adjacent cells along the red lines have to differ by at least 7.
Have fun solving!
