Trying to overwrite a "Save To File" has made my save unloadable. Anyone able to save my save game?

To repeat the steps to create this, all you need to do is create a save and then overwrite that save. I should mention I am using the android version. I received the error in one of the images below when I tried to load my overwritten save.

I came across this before. I suggest not overriding through Save to File. Make a new one, delete the old.

Can't. This is an old save that I deleted in the game thinking this was saved properly. I need someone who knows what they are looking for to save it (if possible).

There appeared to be some duped data at the end of the file that I removed, see if that works. No guarantees on corruption but it's at least a valid JSON file now.

Ahh yes, this fixed it. It now loads. Thank you very much! I appreciate your help :)
I should mention this happened on the latest version, of this post, v0.9.076#4002.
If it is able to be looked into and fixed, that'd be cool.

To recreate the problem as how I have it you need to:
1. Get to Kiro's quest and create a save at the very beginning or right before entering.
2. Move around and do some stuff, don't remember all I did.
3. Make a "Save To File".
4. Load to a previous save right before you did the stuff in Kiro's quest. I had a save before I entered the area.
5. Go back into Kiro's quest at the very beginning.
6. Overwrite the "Save To File" that you did on Step 3 keeping the same name.
7. Result: Should be a save similar to what happened to mine.
