MacBook pro won’t turn on. Resetting SMC doesn’t help.

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (A1989). After I attempted to restart and the screen turned off fans began running at max speed, then I held power button for ~16-20 seconds and the Mac finally shut down. And now it wouldn’t start. I have tried numerous times resetting SMC and nothing changed.

It was 53% battery, Xcode, Simulator and Safari were open (by the way YouTube videos failed to play), ~20Gb free space, running latest MacOS Catalina
