Patrick Fiorilli's article titled Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Gods: Reading Night in the Woods through Mark Fisher was published in the international journal of computer game research.
According to the bio provided on the Journal's website "Patrick Fiorilli is a PhD candidate in the Digital Media program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. As a comparative media theorist, he studies video games through the lenses of continental philosophy and poststructuralist literary theory. His dissertation, "Imagined Fortresses: Video Games as Language," argues that video games, as virtual worlds, are experienced as language, and that they function as textual and philosophical machines which deepen our understandings of phenomenology, writing, and finitude. He is due to defend in 2022."
