It didn't frustrate me! I just think you might have set the "starting point" too far into the game by mistake.
The first time I played, there was an intro scene where the protagonist was crying over a dead body, but now it starts near the actual end of the game.
Don't take it as a hard critic or anything, it's not even about the rating - I'm just pointing out what I think is a bug or a glitch in your game that prevents people from appreciating it, even out of this jam.
There's no need to be so harsh on yourself.
