Questions, comments, feedback are always welcome.
Normal Schrodinger Sudoku rules apply: Fill the grid with the digits 0-9 such that no digit repeats in a row, column, or box.
S-cells: In each row, column, and box there is exactly one S-cell, S-cells contain two digits instead of one, and their value for the purpose of other clues is the sum of those digits.
Doublers: One cell in each row, column and box is a doubler. For the purpose of other clues, the cell's value is double the digit (or digits) in the box. Each digit from 0-9 appears exactly once in a doubler cell.
Region sum lines: On blue lines, the sum of values on the line is equal in each region the line appears in. Different lines may have different sums. Killer cages: Digits do not repeat in cages (though values may repeat) and values sum to the total in the top left corner of each cage.
Renbans: Each purple line contains a set of consecutive values with no repeats.
German Whispers: On green lines, adjacent digits have values that differ by at least 5.
Kropki: Values in cells separated by a black dot have a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.

Beautiful puzzle! Very hard in my opinion because it is so easy to miss options and make mistakes. Thank you

Again a very interesting and surprising puzzle! The interactions between doublers, S-cells and region lines are well executed and lead to a smooth solving path. The biggest difficulty is to stay attentive. Well done!

I marked two colors for S-cells / non S-cells, and the pen marks for doublers. It would be cleaner than using 4 colors, I guess.

Yeah, I tend to use red for s-cells, yellow for doublers, and if I need it, gray for neither. But I'll delete the gray as soon as I can. thanks for solving this one.

Very interesting logic, but hard to narrow down the options. I solved several parts of the puzzle, but resorted to the SudokuPad check button for others. I will have to try this one again later from the beginning to try to solve it with pure deductions. (not entering the solution code at this time)

Glad you enjoyed it. If you ever need a hint, just message me on the ctc discord.
