Nothing else does? What isn't working? That isn't rhetorical--I appreciate bug reports. They just have to be a little more specific than that or they're not very helpful.
As for grinding: I'm sure the balance is way off. I don't want the game to be really grindy. That's why I put in modifiers for every stat, both for points gained and points lost, and even made them easily editable by including the patch.rpy file (which includes many examples of setting the modifiers) separate from the archive. This is something you would know if you were a tester. But, by all means, freely download an alpha build, intended for testing, and go on to complain broadlly and vaguely about how broken and grindy it is. That seems reasonable.
