My first review is of Forsaken Denizen.
I also produced a map while playing:

My second review is of Where Nothing Is Ever Named. No map here.
My fourth review is of The Triskelion Affair, and there is a map:
Thank you so much for the review, and I’m very glad you enjoyed it!
You’re most welcome! It was a lot of fun.
I enjoyed your review, but I’m replying just to note for the millionth time how idiosyncratic players are - I actually did solve the attic lab puzzle without a single hint, and knew what I was meant to be doing the whole time, but needed a solid prod to even get started with the medicine-chest and roses ones!
For some reason, the medicine-chest puzzle seemed immediately obvious to me! I think part of it was that the dumbwaiter was something I’d spent the whole game turning over in my head: it’s obviously a device for transporting items around that can’t be moved normally for one reason or another, like the basket in the Shaft Room in Zork. Anyway, it seemed carefully implemented enough that I figured there would be multiple uses for it, so I kept trying to use it to solve puzzles
Oh, that part generally made sense to me, though I stumbled over it a bit – I meant getting through the door into the master suite in the first place!
Oh! I had to sleep on that, myself.
