The story of Entry Point is the shadow war between two sides:
Halcyon and Phoenix. Since most of the story is still unreleased, we don't know
how it will end. However, we can use clues, evidence, and logic to narrow down the
possible outcomes and predict how the story might end. There are two possible
outcomes: a Halcyon victory and a Phoenix victory. The most decisive
character in the story is the Protagonist. The Protagonist participates
in nine different missions throughout the story. Since Entry Point itself is a
game, players may win or fail each time they play a mission. However, in the story,
all missions are counted as victories. This means the Protagonist succeeds in
all nine missions. Since the missions make up the bulk of the story, it's safe
to assume the Protagonist and their allies will win the war. However, this
raises another question: who will the Protagonist fight for? The most obvious
scenario is that they will continue fighting for Halcyon. If this is the
case, then Halcyon will defeat Phoenix and win by the end of the story.
Given that the protagonist is already in Halcyon, this is the most likely scenario.
Another possibility is that the Protagonist will betray Halcyon and side
with Phoenix. If so, Phoenix will win the war against
Halcyon. Since the Protagonist seems to care more about payments than loyalty,
they may join Phoenix should it present a greater financial opportunity. However,
there's no evidence the Protagonist will betray Halcyon. Given the Protagonist's
actions so far--rescuing Rose, attacking Ryan Ross, and
stealing the Phoenix box--they have caused enough damage to Phoenix that Phoenix
may discard the possibility of hiring them. Thus, a Phoenix victory is unlikely,
though it's certainly a possibility. Although this theory so far answers the question
of who will win, it doesn't answer how and why they will win. Several factors
could tip the scales to one side's advantage. First, as we've already
established, is the Protagonist. We know they will be on the winning side,
but that side won't necessarily win because of them.
After all, they're only one person who does as they're told. The second factor that
comes to mind is the research from Dawn Valley. This research is secretive and we
don't know much about it, but it must be important, as both Halcyon and Phoenix
are interested in it. The research is presumably in Phoenix's
hands, though Halcyon may steal it in a later mission. A future mission called
"The Scientist" is likely related to this research. Another factor are the
non-playable missions. Although the protagonist's nine
missions in the story are known to be victories, Halcyon and Phoenix conduct
many more missions, which may or may not succeed. Such missions may be shown or
mentioned in cutscenes, but we as players won't be able to play them. The success of
these missions may determine the outcome of the story. The Black Dusk is the last
mission in the story and it will likely be the final confrontation between
Halcyon and Phoenix. Since the name is a reference to the Black Dawn, it may be
related to the Dawn Valley research. Halcyon was behind the Black Dawn, so they may
also conduct the Black Dusk. If so, this further suggests that Halcyon will
win the war. After the Black Dusk is the Epilogue, the final piece of the story.
The Epilogue will likely show the aftermath of the Black Dusk and its
effect on the characters, especially the Protagonist. According to Cishshato, the
developer of Entry Point, the Black Dusk and the Epilogue will be the last parts
of the game released. Between now and then, several missions, cutscenes, and
files to be released, which may give us a deeper insight into the ending. A few
weeks after this video's upload, "The SCRS" is set to be released. Until then, we can
only theorize.
