CDX

Jay, you posted an update that it is available outside the UK now, but I still get the "Broadband FAQ" page when I try the link (oct27). Was that an old comment and have they restricted it again?

Impossible to play! "Broaband faq" stupid page with no answer.

Long time reader, first time poster.

To be fair it's this game's pure genius that has me posting for the first time.

Cyzaki, Liz said something about the dagger in an email.

I just put in about 2 hours of play (very start to ep 4 or 5, can't remember), didn't sign up to bbc so no saved progress and my wireless died. It's stuck buffering and won't recover! ARGH!

Oh well. Might go through it again at some point and I shal blinking well register too. make sure you do the same. If you like shows like spooks, you'll be glued to this, it feels about the same.

:(

Dave

hi jay & co
any news yet on when and if this game will become available for non-UK players? pretty frustrating, like something yummie hanging in front of your nose and not being able to grab it...
maybe ill send a message to the people of the bbc myself :-)

You might want to check the announcement I made about it today here. It seems that they will be opening it up to everyone for a 7-day testing period to work out the bugs with the exclusionary system they have in place.

Jay,
This game is not working in Canada now??? I tried all of your links and ended up in the same place as when it was originally released.

help! im stuck on the Housesteads Hall maze! i got into the basement but i got caught and had to start again, is there a certain way that the lights & doors go on and off??

Angie,

on the fuseboxes, there are switches for the lights, cameras (I think) and doors. None of these will shut down the alarm. You have only one option left.

Isn't it possible to mirror the game somewhere.....?!

I had played this last time, it's a simple one. no joke. I remembered well about it cause this is the first game I played in this site.

Any info on the pass for Episode 4? It's probably obvious but I've come up with nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Episode 3 what´s the sequence to get free of those two guys who appeared in Adam´s house???

hear ye! hear ye! it is online for non-UK again!

Well, that certainly was a rewarding experience! Excellent find!

It seemed to have a rather abrupt end after the houstead maze. Will there perhaps be more episodes later? Or is it finished?

Well, i hate that I will never get to play this game. I was having the same problem that kingfrogger was having with the whole freezing up at the "this is to certify CDX has been classified as a Broadband experience" screen. I know someone told him to wait a few minutes and move the screen around, so I tried that for the last thirty minutes and still nothing. Oh well. Hopefully they will put some more out in the future as I have enjoyed Death in Sakkara, and the 7 Noble Kinsman immensely.

ok, im stuck. i have gotten to the maze, and gotten trapped by the alarm. how do you shut it off? please just tell me. no hints please.

does it just end after the maze? i keep dying and am getting frustrated with this game. i wish it dident make you start completly over when you get caught. and how are you supposed to get by the guard on the top floor that just stands there to catch you? they can see you with the lights off. that is unfair.

Like Cyzaki, I'm stuck on the password on Ep 4. Just a little nudge in a direction will help.

BTW: on the interrogation...

You can start out the interrogation with a lie or two (I think they give you a freebie or three there), but once it becomes apparent that they know a lot about you, that's when you have to start telling the truth on everything except the blade and if your boss appreciates you or not (missed that one initally).

What is the password for the website in chapter 4? Someone please help me.

Thomas, look in your emails for something that is very important to the guardians of the house...

The best flash game I've ever played.

I like the part when you direct Liz through Rome. I thought it was like any other point and click game but this one takes the cake.

Unfortunately I do not like the maze. I wish you could move the dot faster so that you can evade the guards.

hi can someone please tell me how to shut off alarm in maze in house?? its killing me i need to know!!!

Argh can't get through the bloody maze in Ep.4 can't be bothered anymore - anyone care to tell me what happens next or how to get through the maze?

All right! Episode 4: The Maze!

Get to the Power Supply Room. Open the doors for the first floor. Get to the stairs. Cross the floor to the stairs at the top. Go to the Power Supply Room. Turn the Main Switch off. Go down the stairs, into the dead-end. Get back up. Go to the Power Supply Room. Wait until the power is back on, then wait until all the guards are far from the Power Supply Room. Turn the Main Switch off. Hurry to the upper floor, sneak past the guards to another set of stairs. Wait once more for the guards to put the power back on and then wander off. Sneak up to the Power Supply Room. Turn the Main Switch off. Get out before it is turned back on! "Enjoy" the last scene :)

working outside of UK into the moment!!

Guess what?!

I can no longer get to the site =(

So, anyone care to tell us what happens to Liz after getting into Housesteads?

What is the gnostic website password?

Please help but not hints!!

Is there a walkthrough for all 4 episodes?? Can't find one anywhere. Please post the link. Thanks :)

Gnostic Website Password...

Check your backpack

What's written on the blade?

It's also in the Encyclopedia under Gnostic

As for me, I could really use help in the Housesteads Hall avoiding all the badies....

Arggghhhh! I get to episode 4, type in the password at the website, and then the game gets stuck loading! I've tried refreshing several times - nothing. Any suggestions?

Hey, I'm stuck cause the phone keeps dialing a 1 over and over again. Is there some special thing you have to do to call liz?

Cant get pass word for the second part of the game i tried rubicon but it didnt work what am i doing wrong

am i missing something?

hi,

i got through the interrogation (that was harrowing!)... got to Liz's email.. decrypted the picture... and I've been waiting for hours for Liz's phone call...

am i missing something?

completely stuck on episode 3!
finished the interrogation, deciphered the code, looked in the backpack, etc.
email keeps saying new email message but there are none in there.
what do i have to do to activate the next action?!?! help!

hey I can seem to get the number right for liz

it is

5559006618 isn't it? and even with the 1 for the dialling code it won't work!

I may be stupid, but I never stop my bike at San Clemente church, just drives by. It says: did not get there en time.. But I do.. Whats wrong?

finished the interrogation, deciphered the code, looked in the backpack, etc. and there I am... whats next? waiting for Liz'phone, but it never come. ??

I've also got that problem marga.. :( I'm just stuck still looking for something to activate the next section.. perhaps a bug?

I've emailed liz back, deciphered code, tried calling kenny and liz, emailed everyone i can email!! Im stuck :(

I am trying to use the rope to get the suitcase and it didn't work the first time just came down on my head. But i dont know how to throw it again. Someone help...

I loved this game. Great graphics and cool story. Can you guys please recommend anymore like it? Thanks.

To get the rope onto the suitcase / briefcase...

You have you move your mouse directly below the case and drag your curser a bit above the suitcase handle. It should work.

Hey guys, I'm really struggling with episode 2. I've written all the e-mails to Tony regarding churches and whatnot. Now, all I have to do is call Liz in Rome and ask her for help. However, I can't seem to be able to call her. What is her phone number in Rome? I've tried every variant of the one I have listed, including adding the 0039 to call italy, but it wont work. Is there somewhere else that I have to look for the number?

If you're stuck after the interrogation in Episode 3.. the way you get Liz to call you back is..

To DOWNLOAD the attachment in Leon's email (the way to get Leon's email is by calling Kenny)!. Liz should call you shortly after that. Hope this helps!

To ici:

You don´t need to dial the number, just push the preset button by her name

Thanks!

Hi, this is the best point & click game ever. The storyline is good, the cast acted very well even if it's a game. But I got stuck at the maze... What a shame.

I am stuck in episode 3 after the interrogation as well. I have printed out the article from Danny, leons partner, and it is on the wall. however Liz has not called and I have been sitting for a while waiting now. anyone have an idea?

I have the same problem as jae113 omg i did so much for this and it got stuck!!! noooo please anyone can help me?

how do I get the names of the churches?

Can someone please help me with episode 2.

I apparently need to contact Liz but her number is no longer in service. What do i do?

Hey people, I love this game, the idea, the design, the interaction :)
but I'm stuck at the suitcase thing, when he throws it first there is a white sign saying something like click & drag, then he drops it over his head and then you see the shelf and the hand with the end of the rope in it and the suitcase on top of the shelf. I can move the hand with the rope
and I tried to move the mouse at every spot, under, over, handle of the suitcase but I don't know how he should throw it. I can't exit this step either, if I don't find a solution, I'll have to close the game...

kind regards
/Sarah/

can someone post a wakthrough for the maze that is easy to follow. i tried the one alreasy posted but i faild.
thanks

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but everytime I try to play this game it says I can't because I'm not in the UK. Is this something they recently put into action or are the rest of you just living in the UK?

If you do not live in the UK, you should be playing the game at the developer's website: CDX-thegame.com.

Great game well designed and everything until they chose to make you run like molassess in the maze.....I just wasted 4+ hours all to be ticked off on a 21st Century version of Pac-Man what the hell...not asking for much, just a fair shot at out running the guards after 4+ hours you think they could do that for you....

ok got past that scary interview, now im stuck on episode 4 and i cannot get past those guards! is there any tips on which way to go and why can the see you inside a room? please help!

i was supposed to say how come the guards can see you if ur in a room lol!

ok episode 4 -

first listen to the phone call, then go to your computer and read the newest email. click on the link and type in the password abraxas. then you will get a call from liz on the computer. after talking to her, go out right, right, left, and left into the top right hand stair case DO NOT GO DOWN THEM, wait until a guard goes down a square room near you then break for the power room. just turn the 1st floor doors on and wait until two guards meet and go down alley way then break for the staircase to the left. if you did not turn on the lights the men should be asleep. go to the left hand staircase and go down them. you will be in a room with another power room. go to the power room and watch the guards. turn off the mains and watch to see which guard will go and turn the mains back on. then watch that guard until the dot is as far away from the power as you can then turn the power off and break for the stairs to the right. go through the room and then you will hear liz says she has found it. go back up the stairs and then wait. the alarm will sound and then you will have to turn the power off again like befor but this time when the mains are switched on again quickly turn off the doors to the first floor. then turn off the mains and run for the left staircase. go down the steps and you will see the stair case to the left without any hesitation go to those stairs. you should be back to where you started on the ground floor. there are two extra guards as you can see. make sure the guards are not looking and go to the power room and turn off the mains and make a run for it to the door at the very bottom which looks like a black bit at the bottom before the guards can move again. there you have it watch the finishing scene!

Im stuck i dont now how to pass level one i recive one archive that i print and i dont now what to do please help meeeee!!!!!!!

ok so i passlevel one and two but im stuck in level three i dont now how to pass the interrogation they always kill meee!!! help me im stuck

Cool game- enjoyed playing it even though the ending was a bit of a let down.. Kudos to the maze walkthrough-its surprizingly accurate but be prepared to fail a few times as you try to get the synchronizations right.
If u get stuck at any point of the game just look over the comments- they'll tell u everything you need to know.
Another great BBC game, just like DIS.

I am stuck on episode 2 when I have to email Anthony back about the churches, I have read the books and then tried to email him back but it takes me around in a circle and I get no wheres!! HELP!!

Hey people!

I am stuck on episode 2 when you have to call Liz but the number doesn't work. After I call Kenny, and his mom tells that he was murdered. Then I try again with Liz but it still doesn't seem to work. Help me please!!

how do you call kenny if his number is out of service?

I emailed back Maggie, I've emailed Leon, emailed Danny - but Liz hasn't called. Eeek!

Help! I keep getting stuck on the map when Liz is trying to go to the churches! I get to either one of the first 2 and then although I can hear the noise and move the arrows nothing happens! It is as if the screen freezes...

Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong?

Thanx,

Labrini.

Hi I just started playing the game, and I'm stuck when you use the combination code to open the briefcase where the dagger is. Every time I use the combo, it doesn't work.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Angela,

are you putting the combination on both sides of the briefcase?

Labrini.

im stuck at the part where liz gets to the first church and then she doesnt move anymore
i hear noises and arrows move, but no movement, did it freeze or am i just missing something here?

Thanks for the tip, Labrini.

Figured it out.

I have some problem with episode 3

how many questions in it?
i done to the 32th
but that guy alwasy hit me for 4th
so i had to start again always...
what are the right answers?

Excuse me.
How can I finish the part of...
"the name of churches"?
Who can tell me the step, please?

i dont get the phones, im very slow at these things =]

Please i need help: the episode 3 what are the right answers??? Please they kill me

What is the code for the suitcase?

hey i got a problem...im trying to get the case down from the bookshelf...and it wont let me through the rope again.....what am i supposed to do to throw it?

Shamelessly cross-posting from the other CDX thread:

That maze is the most frustrating thing ever! I never was any good at Pac-Man. Why does she walk so slowly? Silly woman.

Yes, I'm blaming the character for my own inabilities. Shut up. Seriously though, is there any way of making her walk faster? My computer has issues making her move straight away when I press the cursor keys, so I keep getting caught by mere millimetres. Ho hum.

Please can someone help? i'm stuck on episode 2 where it says i need to phone Liz again but it's saying that it's not in service... please can someone help?

Mich,

When you have to call Liz back, it's to tell her something, right? I just finished the game (awesome) so I'm not clear on particulars; but make sure you've got the info you're supposed to give her first. If not, check everything in the room one more time, read and reply to your emails; if that's not it, I'm stumped. Good luck, though.

Hi,
Can someone help me get past the Housesteads Maze?
I can find the Blade but I cant get out!
HELP ME, PLEASE!

I'm stuck at the darn suitcase part too. I've been clicking and dragging all over the place, but it won't do anything. Help?

finding the password for ep4....

ok you should have recieved the email that said you have the fake knife, remember what that email said was on the real knife? use that as your password

Where do I have to do to deciepher the code in ep. 3? Is there some trick? or is it mentioned in one of the books/websites?

I don't know how anyone is playing this game. The last entry is October 2nd and now it's the 22nd and it's not working.
I sent them a little semi-polite note about allowing non UK residents to use this.
Their money is worth the most in the world and their going cheap on a really cool sounding game???

LOVE it! Can't stop loading and playing- have gotten to the church search and even learned how to navigate the scooter BUT.....even though I have a "log in" to save my place, his there a way to REALLY save your place- I keep getting interupted and get almost all the way through searching for the churches- but when I log back on I have to start TOTALLY over and re do everything in sequence to get where I actually wanted to start from again!! Can this be downloaded to your PC?? Thanks!

Like a lot of you, I'm having a lot of trouble with the Gnostics' house Pacman thing. Even with the comprehensive walkthrough volunteered above, I have no idea what the objectives are. Liz went in to find something, right? Where is this whatever? Is navigating the staircases with the right power settings for some reason the goal?

Outside the UK, you can use the URL
http://cdx-thegame.com/

And, no, even if you have a username, you only get to go back to the episode that you were in, not the actual part of it.

The endscene (Spoiler)

...How disappointing is that? After all the fuss, all that happens is you get a brief phonecall? No explanations, no nothing? Wasn't worth getting slapped in the face for about three hours, I'll tell you that.

hi! im stuck in episode 2!!!! could someone please help me!

im having a problem that was mentioned before. ive done all the emails and etc, and im supposed to find the names of the 2 churches. ive read both books and went to reply to the email, and it still wont let me!

i adore this game, i wanna finish it! someone please please please, help me!

if anyone still visits this website..like a lot of people were, i'm stuck on episode 3, after the interrogation. i can't seem to get liz to call me back.. i've printed off the picture from leon's partner, deciphered the code and whatnot.. am i missing something?

Never mind, i've completed it.

What an ending.

Sigh.

Leona,

I had trouble with Liz calling back.

Do everything you can with email. Respond to every one and download whatever you can.

In Episode 2, I need to contact Liz after Tony's email about the sewers, but Liz's phone doesn't work. I have been all over the room, computer, internet and cannot find out how to contact Liz. Help please! Thanks!

tabitha-
you have to look under

san clemente

I give up. I'm not even trying that freaking maze again, its just retarded.I mean, I would understand if it got harder as you go along but it starts out way to hard! I can't even get to the control rooms, and I'm not even willing to try any more. Plus, apparently the ending scene is supposed to be disappointing, so I don't think it will be worth it. I'm so fed up with it! Sorry, but I seriously think that it's really stupid that they would make it hard and then have a stupid ending, so I wanted to voice my opinion. Even if I sound pissy, well, that's because I am a little bit.

What a great game!
Here are some walkthroughs for the troublesome parts:
Using the telephone:

Press the speed-dial button next to the name of the person you want to call. You may only call them during certain points in the game so if it doesn't work, try later.

Getting the flight case down: This is a classic flash arcade game. Click and drag the arrow up past the handle of the case. When you release the mouse button, he'll throw.
Calling Liz: If it says her number is out of service, go check your email instead.
Finding the churches: San Pietro and San Clemente in the brown book. (Did not double check those names, but that's close, I am sure)

To get through the interrogation, tell the truth on every question except when he asks you if you have the dagger or where it is.
If you get stuck waiting for a phone call from Liz, try checking and replying to any email you haven't done so far and try calling Kenny using the speed-dial button.

Having trouble getting past Episode 2. Already guided Liz through Rome, and got the codes & emailed Tony. Now I'm just trying to figure out what I do next. He asked if I had any ideas why the code said Josephus was hiding there. But I have no clue what to look for.
Any help?
