Congratulations to @Pokio, @fuzzything44, @fauxturtle, @msl001, @MikoKisai, @Shogia, @Daniel, @Nona, @chrisj50, and @Marco for guessing today's base genre correctly: Yajilin! Today's puzzle, however, is a variant called Yajilin (Myopia). Remember, throughout this August you can earn a bonus otter 🦦 by guessing the genre before the puzzle is posted! 😄

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all the remaining empty cells. Clues cannot be shaded, and contain arrows indicating all of the orthogonal directions in which a shaded cell appears closest to the clued cell. At least one shaded cell must appear in the direction of an arrow.
