*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Visit the Lost Village today and try to solve the murder mystery from .proxz14 in a seriously clever fog sudoku. It doesn't seem like this one should be too complicated but the logic is surprising and interesting throughout. Do give it a try!

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive. There are 4 types of cages in this puzzle, all of which appear at least once. Digits in a cage, regardless of its type, can't repeat. 1) Killer Cages: Digits in a killer cage sum to the value given in the top left corner. There is only one killer cage in the grid. 2) Suspect Cages: The sum of the digits in a suspect cage must be 1 away from the value given in the top left corner. 3) Framed Cages: The sum of the digits in a framed cage must be 2 away from the value given in the top left corner. 4) Innocent Cages: The sum of the digits in an innocent cage must be at least 10 away from the value given in the top left corner. The grid is covered by fog. Placing correct digits will gradually uncover the rest of the grid. Guessing is not required. The fog will never uncover two cages of the same type at once, including the starting cages. To help with tracking, cages that were *fully* uncovered at the same stage have the same colours.
