I see. Well, Harvest Moon (and Rune Factory) center around farming: the main goal is to clear your fields, plant/grow crops, save up cash to build expansions (barns, bigger bedrooms, etc.), and repeat. Each season has different crops to grow, and you can raise animals as well.
You also spend a lot of your time socializing with the villagers: talking to them/giving them gifts make them friendlier over time (a looooong time...), which tends to unlock new dialogue/events. Additionally, there are several bachelorettes, who you can try to marry (mostly by the same process, although they have their own special events to hurry the process along as well).
When not farming or socializing, you can fish or mine in Harvest Moon, or fish, mine, and dungeon crawl in Rune Factory. Additionally, Rune Factory has your crafting your own weapons and armor, so you'll be collecting the proper materials (usually be getting random drops from the monsters).
In the end, the gameplay's pretty basic, but for an OCD person it can get hard to put down. It's a very niche series, but give it a rent (preferably with Harvest Moon 64, or Frontier) and see if you like it.
