Thanks for the heads up! I was running inside 8.0.3. as well.I' was able to localize the problem for myself (and probably some other problems I've had with various games here) and that is:
I always convert the PC versions of the games to a MAC version using the Renpy SDK 8.0.3.
The code in the Flashlight.rpy seems to be incompatible to this SDK. Therefore I used the Renpy SDK 7.5.3 especially for this game to generate a MAC version from the PC version which solved any problems for me.
I still have 7.4.4 installed as well, and tried that! Led to a complete crash on loading a save. Will install 7.5.3 now–and it worked!
Usually when I've had an SDK incompatibility, games simply wouldn't launch (as was the case when I tried to load in 7.4.4); I hadn't encountered a situation like this where the game works up until one point (as we experienced with 8.0.3 here) especially since S1-2 and Interlude play in 8.0.3 without issue.
A further note! I just got it to work on 7.5.3 as mentioned– and it goes to that flashlight UI, with a note saying that you can disable it (and other 'special effects') via the menu. I'm glad I'm getting the full experience but I wonder if someone who is stuck as we were could side step it by temporarily disabling special effects.
