Over the Garden Wall

(Published on 12. December 2024, 18:26 by Br1312te)

Somewhere, lost in the clouded annals of history, lies a place that few have seen—a mysterious place, called the Unknown—where long forgotten stories are revealed to those who travel through the wood...

Solve on Sudokupad Tip: enable outlines for better visibility and turn on dark mode (under experimental in settings) for a more mysterious look!

If you want only the puzzle and most clarity, you can use this link.

Rules:

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

Garden Path Lines: Bordeaux lines are split into segments by box borders. For each line, the sum of one segment will be double the sum of the other segment.

Fog: The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits clears the fog. No guessing is required.

You can only solve the puzzle online (due to the fog mechanic).

Love, Brigitte

Solution code: Column 1 from top to bottom (9 digits in total)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am fairly sure this puzzle is not solvable unless you assume lines can't overlap.

Included some tips for better readability and a second version with just the puzzle and no added aesthetic layer. Thanks for the feedback!

Special thanks to @josemadre for the idea of enabling dark mode for a more mysterious mood. That's such a lovely idea <3

I enjoyed this puzzle so much, thank you! <3 It was such a nice flow, loved it.

When you activate "outlines on elements" it makes the pencil marks more distinguishable. :)

A tough challenge for my eyesight, but a fun challenge for my brain.

Very nice flow. Thanks for setting and sharing.

My biggest concern with solving the puzzle was wondering if lines crossed or overlapped each other as the rules never made that clear.

very nice deductions, thank you!

Very nice puzzle, Brigitte. But I agree with Decapod concerning readability over the bordeaux lines.
@ Decapod, when facing this problem with medium or fat lines a bit to close to dark blue, enable the pen tool and overwrite all lines with light grey lines. It will slightly improve readability.

Fun path! Enabling Dark Mode in Sudokupad helped with readability and made it even more mysterious

I like the logic very much, and rated the puzzle accordingly. But I had a very hard time recognizing digits against the "Bordeaux" lines.
