Distant Shores Theory Page

Welcome to the Distant Shores series Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories about the Distant Shores series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Yvonne and Malatesta Cameo Appearances: Many fans believe that Yvonne and Captain Malatesta from the Endless Summer series will make cameos due to them being pirates.
 * Similarly, it is believed that Serafine Dupont from the Bloodbound series will have a cameo given that she was a pirate at one point and that the blog post about the Bloodbound finale revealed that in the writers' headcanon, Yvonne and Serafine are the same person.
 * Adoptable Pet: It is believed you have the option to adopt the parrot from the second sneak peek.
 * MC's a Pirate Captain: Seeing as how the summary says your pirate crew, it is believed the MC will be the Captain.
 * Compass as MacGuffin: Given how MC already experienced the first effects of time travel before the compass came into play and how much attention in the first two chapters is put on MC trying to recover it, the compass may turn out to be a MacGuffin - a plot device that in the end doesn't have any function. In this case, the reason for the time travel may lay somewhere else.
 * Edward: Some players believe that Edward himself is a time traveller or that he already knew about the MC before his/her arrival, given how he called out to him/her, which reminds Chapters players of the beginning of Doon, a book series adapted by Chapters.
 * Ending: Some players believe that there may be a choice at the end of the story to either stay in the past with one of the love interests or to go back to the present.

Confirmed Theories

 * Gender of Choice: Many fans hoped and thought this book would break the series of locked books and would allow the player to choose their gender. This was confirmed with the title announcement of the book.
 * Collectibles: It is believed the MC will have the option to collect pirate treasure, items, or messages given how popular collectibles are in Choices. This is confirmed in Chapter 1, when you receive a medallion from Charlie, and it's added to your Captain's Cabin, a place to display special items, weapons, and crew members. Collecting them all will give you a boost throughout the story and unlock a special scene at the end of the book.
