The Facilities is the second episode in DUSK. It features 11 levels (10 normal, 1 secret.). All the levels were mainly designed by the games creator, David Syzmanski. Each level has a distinct setting but a shared theme across the episode, military complexes or heavy industrial zones, with the exception of E2M9, and E2M10 which are set in excavated Ruins.
Story
After defeating The Experiments and leaving through the former holding tunnel, the protagonist has seemingly lost all of their weapons (apart from the signature sickles) and found their way to Dusk's Grainary. Fighting through it to its underground electrical works, leading to the adjacent factory (likely a slaughter house). After that the player battles on to the vast underground machine to the military controlled laboratory and power plant. After leaving there and defeating Big John, possibly the Military "Mastermind", you venture up to a mysterious facility in the sky, and a strange processing facility, and finally leading into the Lovecraftian Ruins, eventually defeating the giant reptilian Guardian to allow passage into the the blood and bone fueled teleporter to the third and final episode of DUSK, The Nameless City.
