CDX

CDX is a brand new Point’n’Click adventure game developed by the UK studio Preloaded.
“A sacrificial blade forged at the birth of the Roman Empire holds the key to an ancient and bloody conspiracy that threatens to erupt into the present day.
Stranded in 21st century Tunis, Adam Foster is plunged into a world of greed, betrayal and murder, centered on a Roman blade he supplied to the BBC’s ‘Ancient Rome’ series. But who has the blade and can the killers be stopped?â€.
That’s how the story starts. The first of four episodes was released yesterday on www.bbc.co.uk/history/ and the others should follow soon. You will have to give your email to get a secret code to save your progress and being informed of the date of release of the next episodes (you can also play as a guest, but you won’t be able to same the game).
What caught my attention and got me excited about this game is the unique interactive-video interface used in this game. CDX is closer to a movie than a game, with real actors (Mark Letheren is Adam) playing the characters involved in this mysterious adventure.
Note that a broadband connection is essential to play this game and that “young viewers may find some scenes disturbing”. Some of you will probably find this first episode far too short, but that being said, CDX is a truly amazing experience and a must try! Have fun!
Update: in order to be able to play this game you must launch the application from a UK-based computer! So bad for the rest of the World! Sounds crazy, no?
Update 2: You can now play CDX from all over the world. Links updated. Thanks Pinkie!

hey im looking for a walktrough for episode 2 of CDX anyone got it
yh im on the bit where u need to luk up the churches, any1 no how?
funny im stuck on the churches bit aswell but you can get a FAQ on the game and the churches part from the BBC History website here is the link (please copy and paste the link):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbhistory/F5124508
Use the arrow keys to move the place you’re looking at. Click on the pink or green arrows until they change to face the direction you want the moped to go. Go in the direction of the church signs.
Do it in the right time and you’re done…
Anyone know how to do the Trial bit, where you have to answer questions? Whatever I do I die.
does anyone have any tips to episode 4, keep dieing
now they have already post it for the world. You can play it at http://cdx-thegame.com/
for the interrogation you have to answer every question truthfully except for “where is the blade” “do you have the blade”… and similar questions.
then you won’t die… you’ll go on to the fourth episode.
i always go with the truth except the questions with the blade, but i don´t get it, i always die. can anyone help me with this, after trying severeal times i´m tired of it.
i keep getting stuck. like.. how do i move around.
can someone post a walkthrough for episode 2?

thx for the help
how do i get the fight case off of the bookshelf? wat do u mean by drag the rope? i just cant figure it out!!!!!!!!!!
i’m stuck after the interrogaters left. i got an email from liz where she asks me to decipher something. the note on my notebook says “Use Ant’s essene symbol chart to translate mural for Liz” but i have no clue where to find this symbol chart …
by the way, D, the case comes off with the rope, but this will only work when someone is calling you and tells you to look for the case.
Are you familiar with email?

Does anyone have a walkthrough for episode 2?
help !!!!
i’m stuck at 3° after interrogation.
i’ve received liz’s mail, and I’ve found translate for symbols, but now I’m stuck!!!!!
wow here now it’s 15:12 h.
the password for the housesteadshall website is [/ABRAXAS]
anyone know what to do to get thru the housesteads hall maze??
can someone help me, what do i do after the interrogation in episode 3?
finally beat it. Getting Through the maze takes timing.
What I recommend.
When you 1st start wait for the guard to pass you on your right. Exit room, make right. then make rt again. Wait for guard to go all the way to the end and then proceed. make that left and left again. Once you make that left you can go ahead without stopping and head towards the power room. (trust me, it may look like your about walk in their path but they will turn right before).
In the power room. Wait. You will see one guard coming up close to you. Wait until he turn rt, rt, left, rt again. Once he makes that rt hit the main switch off. The get out and head for the stairs.
Upstairs should be all off and guards will be sleep so just make a left and head towards the other steps.
GO to power room again and switch off the main power again. head out make rt and take stairs. Go into room and now you got the blade. Once you head out. The Alarm will go off. You will now notice two orange dots. Those are the friendly fellows that paid adam a visit and will kill you if caught.
Now this part you gotta be quick about it. It wont help to go into the power again now so heads towards the steps. Beware be ready in case if once you go down the steps you may see a dot coming towards you. All you do is move forward a bit and move back to steps. You may have to do this twice. After the second time the guard will search elsewhere and this is you time to move to the other steps.
Once thats done, now its up to your timing. Wait until the clear and head to power room and turn off power. Now there is always one that comes to turn it back on. Depending on where he is. If he’s close then go to the stairs room and wait for another chance or run for it. You wont make it to the safe spot before he turns it on but you’ll be able to get real close. Wait in a hall untill you can and go for it.
Took me a couple tries but thats how I did. Once you do that..you win.
Excellent Game.

Moped Problems. I also have a problem with the moped maze. It stops and can’t do anything when i get to a church. any help appreciated. have tried emptying cache and such.
ty.
Also stuck on the moped part in episode 2.
Found all the pillars and picture in time but can’t get her to go into Clemente. Ran out of time bouncing back and forth outside it. I give up.
i am stuck on the first part the phone wont stop beeping :( what do i do?
Amanda, It’s the answering machine =]
for the trial in episode 3, answer all questions truthfully except when they ask you for the blade……sumthin lik “where is the blade”, “how did u get the blade”, “did u g et the blade from omar badri” or “tell me where the blade is”…if you do all that correctly, they will start asking you about your boss michael appleyard, when they ask “does he appreciate this blade youve found” bluff it. then jus follow the pattern and ull live.
im stuck in partt 3. i already finished the interrogation and emailed liz back and deciphered her picture. what now? do i just wait for her reply?
please help me: i’m stuck in ep2: can’t call liz. I’ve read and replied all email, read the books, now i must call liz, but her number is out of order. PLEASE someone, anyone: what do i have to do to get liz on the phone?
