These are three-dimensional yajilin puzzles. In each puzzle, the four squares depict the layers of a $4\times4\times4$ cube.
- Shade some cells on each layer. The numbered cells show how many shaded cells (not includong numbered cells) are in the direction of the arrow.
- Some numbers have been replaced with question marks to make the puzzle more difficult. Cells with question marks behave the same as other numbered cells.
- Diagonal arrows point to squares on other layers. An up-left arrow points to smaller-numbered layers, and a down-right arrow points at higher-numbered layers. For example, a down-right arrow on layer 2 points to cells in the same row and same column on layers 3 and 4.
- Shaded cells cannot be adjacent to another shaded cell (even those on different levels). The shaded cells are allowed to touch the numbered cells, however.
- Unshaded unnumbered cells on each layer are all adjacent to one another in 2D (i.e. each layer is treated separately).
- Make a single loop in 3D space which goes through every unshaded, unnumbered cell.

$\begingroup$ "Unshaded cells on each layer are all connected in 2D (i.e. each layer is treated separately)." does that include numbered cells? $\endgroup$– Omega KryptonAug 9, 2019 at 7:22

$\begingroup$ "The numbered cells show how many shaded cells are in the direction of the arrow." - does that include numbered cells, or only user-shaded cells? $\endgroup$– BirjolaxewAug 9, 2019 at 7:40

1$\begingroup$ @Birjolaxew The unshaded cells are all connected to each other by placement, they do not have to be connected by a line. The line can leave and enter a layer as often as it wants. $\endgroup$– w lAug 9, 2019 at 8:23

This is a pencil-and-paper-games full solution... yay

Here is the answer to the first one at least (apologies for the crude drawing)
