Warden (Boneyard) LDR substitute?

I've recently boxed up a Boneyard Warden comp but I'm running into issues actually getting ahold of the proper LDR. I've tried buying the GL5516 it calls for from 3 places now and each time have been sent ones that measure well over 2Meg dark which obviously sounds awful in the circuit. Semiconductor shortages, supply chain issues, yadda yadda, I get it.

Anyone have any luck using a different LDR you could point me in the direction of? Mouser doesn't sell LDRs apparently and Digikey didn't have anything matching the GL5516 specs closely.

I'm at the point where I might just break this whole circuit down and put a Thumb Sucker in there instead.
