This paper discusses a research direction which focuses on a framework intended to help
solve the problem of user-interaction versus story coherency in interactive narratives. The
framework revolves around a concept named" narrative affordance," which draws from work
in visual psychology and human-computer interaction and involves a declarative notion of
afforded actions and a model of perceivable actions by a user of an interactive narrative. The
paper also discusses motivation for the importance of the work and a future research plan.
