Borderless Window
This is a thread from another game discussing the Unity issue with borderless windows and a shortcut command to get around it.

Thank you so much!

The trick is to be in the title screen and then click options (not in game) and click off the full screen in the options. It will not appear while you are in a game.

Use the command line from the article "-popupwindow -screen-height 1080 -screen-width 1920" (changing for your appropriate screen size).

When you do BOTH things, it will make it so that it no longer minimizes when you click on another application (discord, steam, etc.).

Thanks to Amphos from the community for this helpful tip! Thanks to Astyanyx for pinning!
Hm. The game window is clearly resizeable -is this a new feature?

ive been using 'borderless gaming' for this, and it works like a champ... (edit: forgot to mention, for it to work with this game, turn 'fullscreen' off)

https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming

you can build it from the source, or you can buy it for 4 bucks pre-built:

it works great for a ton of games, i highly recommend it...

Great tip, thank you
I use http://runtimeterror.com/tools/fullscreenizer/, it works perfect, and is 100% free.

It is not necessary to buy or install any tool. Just follow the advice given, including Funding's comment, i.e. uncheck the fullscreen option and restart with those parameters on the command line. This also works on Linux/Proton.

Interested in getting the game but nothing has been broadcast for over 2 years. Is this still a thing?

I just tested it, can confirm this still works fine. If you want borderless you can do as described above. Steps summarised as follows.
Set your launch options for the game to:
-popupwindow -screen-height 1080 -screen-width 1920
Of course you can change for your own resolution if you use different.

Once in game go to the main menu options and disable fullscreen, this will prevent the game from minimising when you tab out.

There is no need for third party software
