Rhys Pasternack is a first year PhD Researcher in the University of Glasgow’s School of Languages and Modern Cultures. His research focuses on video game narrative, metanarrative, the nature of immersion and escapism and Nietzschean philosophy.

He hopes his research paves the way for video games to be further recognized as an artform.
