"The two devices are self reliant, that is language (compulsory narrative), cannot exist without context (player narrative), hence I shall be analyzing how both these tools operate to reach my conclusion." If they can't exist without each other then they're "mutually reliant," not "self reliant." (1st paragraph, Abstract) I only found one major typo that you might wanna fix.

“The two devices are self reliant, that is language (compulsory narrative), cannot exist without context (player narrative), hence I shall be analyzing how both these tools operate to reach my conclusion.”

If they can’t exist without each other then they’re “mutually reliant,” not “self reliant.” (1st paragraph, Abstract)
