Last month, indie flash game developer Psionic surprised players with the first episode in a new science fiction adventure series, Being One. But it wasn't until this week that it caught our attention with the second episode, called Bloodbath.

Both episodes remind me of the fantastic next-gen console game, Dead Space, thanks to luscious production values, creepy atmosphere, mysterious sci-fi plot and some extraterrestrial shizzle going down that's just... not normal.

As far as free flash games go, these first two episodes of Being One offer an adventure that will keep fans of point-and-click room escape and hidden object entertained, if only for a short time.

But not to worry, as Psionic says work's already underway on the third episode. It sure beats having to wait 2-3 years for a new 'episode' at any rate - not that we're specifically looking at the Half-Life 2 series when we say that...
