Early Access launched with two pathways toward The Gloom. The newly available route is The Mysterious Facility, with a separate card pool, enemies and rewards.
The launch announcement introduces The Facility as an additional route. We use “original path” descriptively; its exact in-game selection label is not verified here.

Exact unlock steps and route-specific card lists are not yet verified.
The launch announcement describes an entirely new card pool, enemies and rewards for The Facility. Do not assume that a card recommendation from one path can be reproduced on the other.
We do not have a verified difficulty comparison. As an editorial starting point, use a route available in your game while you learn the core mechanics, then revisit your card choices when you enter a different pool.
Quests unlock access, according to the developer. Required items, quantities and completion steps are not yet verified for the current Early Access version.
The launch has five characters with distinct starting decks and base Foresights. Exact character-to-pathway restrictions are not verified here. See Characters before relying on a character-specific plan.

The supplied Facility run makes a useful distinction between finding a structure and being able to use it. The player reveals an obscured vending machine, then still needs a fixing effect to access its reward. A reveal is not automatically a repair.
For the combat side of this route, read Gunk, Data & Machines. These are lessons from one supplied run; they do not establish the complete Facility card pool or unlock sequence.
