If anyone knows already, or when it'll come out, I'd like to know how it stands next to Recettear and if it feels inspired by it. I love Recettear and still waits for something that can top it :)

When i hit play the game pops up with the preparing to launch window, after a few seconds it dissapears, then launches it again and loops like this constantly. Any tips to get it working?

I saw that Artifact also created a few visual novels that are semi interlinked, but one specifically called "Magic Potion Stories" from 2013, featuring the main character from this game. Sadly there's no english translation, but does anyone know the story? Does this game give any kind of retelling or review of the story?...

Whenever I start the game it either crashes or it goest to a black screen and plays a loop of a static noise? What should I do?

I suppose I could make some spreadsheets and calculate an optimal way to complete the game for a higher rank, but I really don't see the point. It would go a LOOONG way if there was some sort of permanent prestige bonus for every time you completed the game. Little things like a 0.5 bonus multiplier to chaos or a 25% gather speed bonus. You could offer more powerful bonuses based on rank Hard mode could offer even more substantial bonues for hard mode. As is, I'm probably not going to give it another go...
