I skimmed through this game for 5 minutes and then I decided this game isnt for me. What is so special about this game?
You can't "skim through" a game for only 5 minutes that's has the dialog and story as two of its strongest elements and then ask why it's so special. It's special because of the stuff you seemed to have skipped over,
It's been a while since I played the beginning but if you were reading it at an average reading speed, I'm not even sure if 5 minutes gets you off the train at the start of the game. And if you "skimmed it" by actually skipping over everything then how can you be surprised that you don't get it and see what's special about it?
It's a bit like saying, "I fast forwarded through the first ten minutes of The Godfather and decided it isn't for me. What do people even like about it?" Like it's fair to not like something after giving it a fair chance, no shame for that, and it's also fair to not even bother giving something a try at all (I do that with plenty of game and movie and such). It just seems odd to download it, "skim" it for a few minutes, and then dismiss it.
