sadly we are supposed to only rate the jam version. any changes/fixes made after the submission period ended shouldnt weight into the rating. so even if there is much more game to it, if it isnt accessible in the jam version because it stops in the beginning cutscene then we cant consider it into the rating. so as harsh as it sounds: this one's a bust.
would like to see what the game was supposed to be as well but only the broken version shall dictate my rating. that's just how it works.

That's too harsh. If a thing's unplayable, how do you call this a game?
At this point, I've seen plenty of jam games with unexpected game-breaking bugs that happen to a certain part of players because the bug doesn't happen on the creator's machine and does occur on others' computers. And more often than not, the bugs get hotfixed when there's a bug that prevents playing even a tiny part of the game whatsoever (at least from what I've seen thus far).
I say, as long as the bug fix doesn't alter the intended experience of the Jam release, you can send a fix. Like, hell, isn't that a shame to just turn away at the start cutscene? I didn't even get to make a button input.
