What is the attraction of this game? Isn't it just another rogue-like at heart?

Not at all. Here's the official thread, if you're interested in a few more details, but in essence it's Harvest-Moon married with a basic ARPG. Not for everyone, but highly addicting to those of us who like the formula.

I read that.  Having never played Harvest Moon, the entire OP tells me very little.

Harvest Moon is a farming game in which you must complete the tasks on your farm and do whatever extra work you can within the space of a day, which in-game lasts for about ten minutes. The game has a sense of urgency and immediacy that doesn't exist in most games, especially most console games, because there is always something fo you to do; your tomatoes are not going to pick themselves, and will rot on the vine if you wait.

Everything you do is of your choice, and there are many ways to live out your virtual life. You can build extensions to your house, marry one of the girls (or guys, depending on the version) in town, work in the mines, go to festivals...

It's kind of like Animal Crossing, only with a sense of urgency and purpose.

Actually, it's the reason I didn't like Animal Crossing much when I played it.
