Troika! : "The other world's favorite RPG"
The system is based on Advanced Fighting Fantasy (a British tabletop RPG based on the Fighting Fantasy and Sorcery! gamebook). It uses 6-faced dice only, and combat initiative is randomly decided.
The weird fantasy setting is implied through its fascinating character backgrounds, illustrations and the introductory adventure. One of the character background is a Little Prince reference. The adventure takes place in a hotel of chrome and gold, which its mandrill guards is among the less weird things. There are a lot of third party content inspired by the whimsy strange aesthetic.
You can read the rule book free on its website.

a science-fantasy RPG in which players travel by eldritch portal and non-euclide-an labyrinth and golden-sailed barge between the uncountable crystal Spheres strung delicately across the Humpbacked Sky.
