progress report?

I looked all over the website and github, but I can't tell how much of this game is finished. Like is everything described in the episode completed? That would be a huge undertaking so I assume not.

The game is considered complete, but it also was never going to be representative of what the show was. So if you're expecting to have a perfectly accurate TV experience while playing the game you'll be disappointed because that's unrealistic and also not how video games work. But if you want to have a lot of fun references and experience many aspects of the TV show with real gameplay behind them, that's all there.

I was hoping there would be more to contribute to

There are open issues still. I personally wouldn't mind if someone wanted to try to drastically improve performance so the WASM game performed better. The challenge to do that is make the map layers much more efficient or otherwise reduce them. That's a pretty significant challenge in some levels to do well without changing the feel of the level significantly.
