I decided to learn how to mod Unity games to fix this. I've been at it about 5 hours and have full injection and logic overriding working. I just need to implement actual fixes, clean up my code, and figure out how to distribute the mod.
I uploaded the prototype mod injector/manager to my itch.io page. Works for me.
This is insane I just learned about this game and was looking it up and see you uploaded a fix mere minutes before I opened this web page, amazing!
