![]() Hogwarts Legacy: All Field Guide Pages Locations PS5 Game Boost: All Major PS4 Game Improvements PS4 to PS5: All Games with Confirmed Free Upgrades New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (13th March to 19th March) The space you’re left in following this descent is absolutely nightmarish, one of the most frightening short sequences we’ve ever seen in a game some may find this laughable but the effect of those three songs - three of Radiohead’s best and most evocative tracks - followed by the fractious Kid A Mnesia reworking of ' Like Spinning Plates', is downright haunting stuff. The game, such as it is, plays its real ace when you read the centrepiece, a space combining ' How to Disappear Completely', ' Pyramid Song', and ' You and Whose Army' into one expansive, terrifying journey into the abyss. there’s too much to detail all of it, with drawings, writings, and visuals completely surrounding you at all times. There’s the paranoia-tinged ' The National Anthem' room full of televisions and a telephone box that screams Thom Yorke’s distorted vocals at you, the towering pillar of a room with the desolate, raw cut of ' Kid A' soundtracking it, the shifting room of concept art built around ' In Limbo'. ![]() Every area is inspired by and/or soundtracked to a song from the band. Initially we had some misgivings about the game, being as it is essentially advertising – QR codes spread throughout the museum somewhat crassly lead to Radiohead merch – but it delivers above and beyond what you’d expect or even want from a free-of-charge tie-in for a reissue. And from there, it’s a deep dive into two seminal albums, with the various hallways and paths populated by interactive exhibits based on classic songs from the two records, their B-sides and the bonus tracks and deeper cuts from the Kid A Mnesia bonus disc. ![]() Following a red light, you’ll find your way into a Radiohead museum of sorts, as the somehow comforting electronic tones of ' Everything in its Right Place' begin to serenade you. Taking the form of the expected walking simulator, you’re dropped into a sketchy, scratchy white forest. And with this comes Kid A Mnesia: Exhibition, an exploration of art, music, and mood as produced for and evoked by what are arguably Radiohead’s two most polarising pieces. With the recent Kid A Mnesia reissue combining both albums into a long player, they’re now officially as inextricable as they already were in the minds of many fans. With the benefit of hindsight they are simply part of the natural progression in sound from The Bends to the beloved OK Computer, doubling down on that album’s themes of alienation and pressure. Members associated with Radiohead, notably including frontman Thom Yorke, producer Nigel Godrich, and artist Stanley Donwood then collaborated with the studios and Arbitrarily Good Productions to help make this idea a reality.It’s almost quaint to think that Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac albums were considered such esoteric, difficult listening twenty years ago. However, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic coming about within the past year, Kid A Mnesia Exhibition was then adapted to take place in the virtual world. Originally, the idea was set to have this experience be one that fans could come to see in-person at select cities around the globe. Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is a project that has been in the works for around two years at this point. The KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION will be available beginning November 18th as a free download for PlayStation 5, PC and Mac: - Radiohead November 11, 2021 You can check that trailer out at the top of this page. ![]() To accompany this announcement, a new trailer for Kid A Mnesia Exhibition was also released today to better give fans an idea of what it will have in store. The title is also going to be completely free to download across all platforms meaning that the only barrier of entry is that you own one of the corresponding pieces of hardware that it will be available on. Kid A Mnesia Exhibition was confirmed today to be releasing next week on Thursday, November 18, and will be coming to PlayStation 5, PC, and Mac platforms.
