Turns out we've never had a Twilight variant on GAPP! It's a generic variant for shading genres with unshaded clues. The variant lets you shade them, which inverts the type of cell the clue cares about. (Exception: I've seen some Twilight Caves where the shaded clues just do something completely different.) Anyway, here's a Tapa (Twilight).

Here's the most recent standard Tapa on GAPP: Archive: Tuesday, 7 November 2023 by Shye

Rules:
- Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and no 2x2 region is entirely shaded.
- Unshaded clues represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue.
- Shaded clues represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive unshaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue.
