I'm not sure what that was...
The presentation was good - I love the visuals, atmosphere and effects (they really nailed the feeling of going at an incredibly high speed). The story was really ambiguous - which is something I generally like a lot. And while there's a part of me that wants to watch a Youtube video explaining everything, I would prefer to try and piece this story on my own.
In most cases, I would do that, this game is short enough to warrant a second or even third playthrough for me, but I'll be honest - the game isn't fun at all IMO... Controls and mechanics are good, and again, the game feel is immaculate, but in practice the game ends up being really boring. The main culprit for that is the fact the levels are entirely procedurally generated. it makes everything feel bland, repetitive, and lacking in engaging challenges. I guess that's part of the point, and that's fine - I can enjoy a good walking simulator, but that's not what I expected going into this (probably my fault - I didn't look at any clips or trailers besides a few from Twitter), but still - keep in mind this won't necessarily be fun in the traditional sense (unless I'm missing something here)...
Try it if you're curious, it's short and intriguing.
