The title of the series refers to the recurring game mechanic of "rune points" and runes that can be earned by completing a variety of tasks, such as growing crops, crafting items and leveling up skills. The basic premise of most Rune Factory games is to play as a hero who has lost their memory, but must save the land from peril at the hands of an evil enemy, while uncovering their memories. Rune Factory retains the farming and social simulation portions of the Story of Seasons games, but integrates it into a fantasy setting and introduces dungeon crawling elements into the core gameplay. With the first game published in 2006, the property consists of five main-series games, two spin-off titles and numerous manga adaptations. The Story of Seasons references were subsequently dropped starting with the second installment, in order to become its own series. The series began as a spin-off to Marvelous' flagship franchise Story of Seasons (formerly Harvest Moon).
The games are developed by Hashimoto's studio Hakama, taking over from Neverland after they ceased operations in 2013. Rune Factory is a franchise of fantasy role-playing simulation games created by Yoshifumi Hashimoto, and primarily published by Marvelous.
