The Basilisk

The Basilisk is a unique independent title that combines platforming, puzzle-solving, psychological horror, and narrative-driven gameplay into an experience that constantly challenges player expectations. Developed and published by Joshua Hughes, the game takes place within a futuristic scenario where humanity faces extinction from a deadly virus. Players assume the role of an advanced supercomputer tasked with navigating complex viral structures in an attempt to discover a solution.

A kind person in the community discussions has linked a console command to skip the "Auto move" level where you always die to the second obstacle after bouncing on the RNA. You can also try lowering your monitor refresh rate to 60hz to alleviate the issue but it's not guaranteed to work.
