I am not one of the developers, but — since it is unlikely an update will come out any time soon, not until Episode 4 is released — perhaps I can help you get past this part so that you can continue playing? You are the first person I have heard of that has gotten this bug, so if you upload your save file (such as on a cloud storage service like Nextcloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.), I should be able to obtain that piece of information and return the updated file to you. If I recall correctly, there is no special scene you would miss.
If you would like that, you can find your save file (at least if you are using Windows) here: C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\GoodwolfStudio\Code 7\saveFiles
For future questions, you might get a response more quickly if you joined the game’s Discord server: https://discord.gg/code 7 . Even that one is mostly inactive but Itch is much more so; it is pure luck that I saw your topic.
I hope that you are enjoying the game so far, and will be able to continue to! :)
