Portfolio
I'm a freelance video games journalist and hobbyist fiction writer, and this is my little space on the web where I house some of my favorite bits of writing. I used to write under my maiden name, Alyssa Hatmaker, but you can now find my writing under my married name, Alyssa Butler.
Fiction
Adventure Game Hotspot
I currently write for Adventure Game Hotspot, where I focus on reviews of games that fall under my favorite genre! You can find all of my articles here.
PC Gamer
Unwinnable Monthly
Unwinnable is my all-time favorite publication, and I'm honored to have written a few articles for their monthly magazine. You can find the excerpts below.
A New York Adventure (The Blackwell series and Joseph Mitchell)
In the Suburbs I (Stardew Valley and Arcade Fire)
Rely on Horror
I wrote for Rely on Horror for about two years, contributing news, reviews, and features. You can find everything I wrote here.
Adventure Gamers
I was a staff writer for Adventure Gamers, mostly contributing reviews. Unfortunately, the site was sold and is now mainly focused on online gambling, so my bylines are gone. Below are a few PDFs I've managed to save, and if you'd like more examples, please get in touch with me! You can find my email on my About page.
