No need to apologize, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't providing tech support to pirates. Aside from not wanting to encourage piracy, people getting the game from folks who may or may not have done something to it adds a layer of stuff that could go wrong that has nothing to do with me.
This may be easier in Discord. I need to know exactly which version you're running. It looks like it's attempting to create a save directory in the game folder, which is an error I might expect to see in 0.9, but not 0.9.1 or 0.9.2. If you're playing one of the latter two versions, something very odd has happened. Also, are you playing on an Intel Mac or an M1?
