I'll elaborate a little further -


 * This is not anywhere near a full game, it's not even a demo - like Jackboog21 said - it's just a sandbox to test various features of the upcoming game and collect bug reports.


 * You can not win (the title screen explicitly says that). Whatever you do, when you reach Friday evening the game will just say that "it's still a debug build" and you will get a game over. If you find a way of getting around this (there have been several bugs in the past that allowed you to avoid the game over) the game will just reset itself to the beginning of the same week.


 * Kokona is not an official rival. She was never meant to be a rival. Kokona's purpose is to be a temporary dummy to test features that require a rival. It does seem to me like Yanderedev had invested a little too much time developing her (e.g. the befriend cut-scene) but it doesn't matter now. It is confirmed that (1) She will not be completely removed from the game, (2) She will not be a rival, (3) She may have a very minor role at some point (possibly with Kizana copying her hairstyle and then accusing her of being the one who copies) but otherwise will just be a normal student.


 * Yanderedev has basically finished all features that have something to do with Kokona and is now working on either general features or features specific to the first rival - Osana Najimi. Apparently Yanderedev has already made a lot of progress with her but he is not yet comfortable with making her available on public builds. You can see her in some videos that he posted recently. The next video is also expected to be related to her, or more accurately, about something that will make her more difficult to get rid of.


 * That being said, with proper technical skills, the game can be hacked to spawn her (and then technically you get 3 rivals at the same time...) but even then eliminating her will not make you "win" - the code that checks whether the rival has been eliminated is not even there yet.


 * Oka is in the game because she was implemented very early, possibly before Yanderedev had decided to make her a rival. People like her so she stays in the game for the time being. She'll probably be removed before the game reaches demo. In the final game she will only appear on the fourth week. Meanwhile her behavior does not have any rival-like treats.
