Scriptwriting for Virtual Reality Interactive Digital Narratives (IDN) derives insights from writing for linear or cinematic Virtual Reality (VR). However, due to the lack of agency in linear VR, insights from the scholarship that might improve the writing process are limited. Therefore, this paper suggests a new research agenda to explore scriptwriting for VR IDN. The paper establishes insights and challenges writers for VR IDN may encounter while composing. These challenges include scripting the body, movement as action, environmental storytelling, and guiding the interactors’ gaze. A research agenda is proposed that categorizes these compositional insights and challenges within different levels of the System-Process-Product model.
