The Foothills is the first 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, derelict farms or industrial areas- with the exception of E1M9.
Story
