Never listened to Radio Head so no comment on that.
On pure aesthetics and movement alone, it is able to create some cool sensory alienation, moments when you don't know if you're going with the place, or the place is going with you. Or if you're both just vibing at the same time.
I hope we can see more videogame galleries like this one, closest thing to bringing a museum experience to the medium.

So, i'm one of those guys. The guy that hears "radiohead" and just thinks of Creep. I'm sorry, i'm just not into pop music that much. Is radiohead even pop music? Whatever. I've absorbed a couple more of their songs through cultural osmosis, i guess.
Basically, I'm not the target market for this. I've never listened to Kid A and Amnesia. And honestly, this project thing doesn't really give me a massive desire to go out and do so. The experience culminates with some cut-down style recordings/remixes of songs from the albums and it's just thoroughly uncompelling. The visuals involed are cool but the sequences themselves are so mind-numbingly long that I found myself completely zoning out and trying to make things look funny. Doesn't help that these new recordings just seem overall way less energetic than from what i can tell radiohead stuff normally is - and frankly maybe the band's music just isn't that well suited to the bombastic sequences that's gone for here.
What does work better here is the section before all those bombastic visual setpieces. The exhibition portion of the game is way more interesting, even if it is literally just a museum where you go round and look at some exhibition art pieces and paintings and shit. The level of visual fidelity here is absolutely ridiculous and really lends the vibe of like, watching a recording of the louvre or something, and then wandering around these weird, pretty exhibits at your own pace whilst the low-key radiohead plays in the background - it works pretty well! The art pieces are pretty good and the museum itself sort of is one, with what im fairly sure is impossible spaces that twist around each other, and weird rooms. It's a little eerie, but also kinda cute, and the sheer variety and amount of pieces of art scaterred all over the place really makes it fun to just walk about in. There's such huge amounts of detail, and it really feels like a well executed virtual exhibit that embraces that its virtual with impossible elements - it feels like some cool exhibit you'd see at the milennium dome and pay like way too much money for. Which is pretty much all id want from this sort of thing.
By the way, am I the only one who sees that radiohead logo cat thing as Neko Arc from Tsukhime/Melty Blood. It's very distracting. Burunyuu...

One word to describe this game: Transcend
It is the best exhibition I have been to

TENTH FAVORITE GAME OF 2021
Much like P.T. never left my PS4, this will likely never leave my PS5 in case I need to introduce some woeful soul to this incredible experience for the first time.
While Radiohead is in a unique position with essentially infinite money and a fandom of basically unrivaled voraciousness, I wouldn't be surprised if this is something that more and more artists pursue as a promotional tie-in to their album release advertising.

Don't know nothing about Radiohead - but this is a strong vibes kind of game, but, for me at least, not much more. I like the idea of virtual exhibitions a lot, hopefully more stuff like this gets made in the future (although I dread the day this format gets connected to N/F/Ts somehow)
This is one of those little weird interactive experiments that will end up being a massive influence on things down the line, mark my words. One of the most unique experiences I've ever had in gaming (if you can call this a game).
Even if you aren't a huge Radiohead fan, I think the bizarre, eerie atmosphere and beautiful sound design will keep you hooked for the entire walkthrough.

Can't believe Radiohead is using a Fnaf character as their logo.
Unreasonably cool, like a LACMA exhibit curated by grungehouse phantoms. I have a feeling I'll be revisiting this a ton throughout the year.
What?
curto radiohead
but ima crepe
Odiava quando caia no mapa e tinha que reiniciar o jogo, mas o jogo fazia de propósito.
É bem legal explorar os locais, tinha medo.

this is exactly my shit what a trip
Thom Yorke fucked a pumpkin
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative. It gets the people going!
I think I completed it? Radiohead's my favorite artist, so I went in with high hopes and ended up somewhat disappointed. There were some beautiful moments, both visually and audibly, but a lot of nothing in between as well as parts I was wishing I could skip ahead through. Parts of it would've worked amazingly as a horror game.
Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is an extremely awesome and unique views into one of the greatest bands of all time, whose genre bending and boundary pushing certified them as more than mere artists, but as legends. This "game" is a jawdropping walk through their polarizing turn of the milennia classic featuring glitchy rooms and zany backdrops to match the eclectic and emotionally fleeting music.
If there was any band that was going to go under an artistic undertaking such as this, it fittingly would be Radiohead. It would be a disservice to try to take this apart and analyze it song by song or piece by piece, so I strongly suggest any fan of Radiohead or abstract art to download this (free) piece of art. It feels more like a virtual art exhibit then anything, and had my brain accelerating at the thought of bringing music and art exhibits into the realm of virtual interactivity. If this is how we are able to view art in 2021, what does that mean five, ten, twenty years down the line?
Kid A Thematically is a perfect piece of art to guinea pig this idea, and the original drawings and fantastic music only add to what is already a legendary album. This is AMAZING.

Not to cause any alarms or surprises, or come across like a creep, but this was just fine. Just an awrite thing. Please don't send the karma police after me.
I only know three Radiohead songs.

A pretty interesting little experience. I'm not a very avid Radiohead fan. I like A Moon Shaped Pool and some other various tracks but I'm not someone who I would consider to be a real fan.
So it's interesting to experience this game from that angle. I've never listened to the records that this exhibition is based on, which I think made it interesting in its own way. Not knowing the background and just interpreting to your own free ability.
The game utilizes interesting ways of making this multimedia art piece soar. Visually stunning, even terrifying at times. Worth a venture through even if you're not into Radiohead that deeply like myself.

I'm not too familiar with Radiohead, but this is still a free walking simulator with some trippy visuals, so I gave it a try.
as a game, even one with very limited gameplay, it's pretty flawed; could really use an in-game map, and at some points, the visuals are so stylized and abstract that it becomes difficult to tell how you're supposed to progress. shelved it after I got stuck, possibly due to a bug, might come back at some point

Speedrunning an art gallery to pwn Thom Yorke. Clipping out of bounds at the Tate Modern to get that pretension skip. Saved me a whole 12 seconds.
the possibilities for what interactive art can be just reached a new level of holy fuck.
no fucking clue if this has some underlying meaning but idc it was so visually stunning and fun to go through
From the perspective of someone who is intimately familiar with Radiohead's body of work, I absolutely loved it. But I also believe it can stand perfectly well all on its own. It's a genuine work of art, an absolute audiovisual treat.
If you're unfamiliar with the band, this is a mix of art and music from albums Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001), which were recorded at the same time. The art featured prominently on album sleeves, music videos and promotional stuff at the time, but there's so much more here to check out. It's by long-time band collaborator Stanley Donwood and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke (under the alias Tchock).
What was most interesting to me was that these aren't just album versions of the tracks. They're all mixed to create a completely fresh experience even for long-time fans of the band.
And there's much more here than I initially thought, especially the game aspect. Yes, all you do is basically walk around, but the way that space is manipulated and how you can interact with it is really fascinating. Sometimes you can directly impact the music and how it mixes. And it's also pretty non-linear with secret rooms and passageways. I finished it three times, all of which were different experiences and I can definitely see myself returning to it from time to time.

De mis bandas favoritas. Me hizo llorar. No puedo decir más.
remember that part in book of life where the main character sings "creep" for no reason and it doesn't fit with the rest of the film?
A lucky find in the context of today's talk about the future of gaming metaverses.
