The whole project is in celebration of the band’s fourth and fifth studio albums, Kid A and Amnesiac, that dropped in 2000 and 2001, respectively. 

The teaser trailer channels found footage horror movies. The video features flashes images of symbols and icons. It also features some chilling instrumentals alongside the visuals. Furthermore, the video discloses that the exhibition will be available this November. The announcement of the exhibition was a part of the Playstation 2021 showcase. The project will exclusively drop on Playstation 5, as well as on PC and Mac through Epic Games. 

Kid A served as the band’s breakthrough international success. The album landed Radiohead’s first album atop the Billboard 200 chart. It also won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards. The album was also critically acclaimed.
