The players are a group of incompetently programmed ninja sleeper agents. The goal of play is to successfully navigate their ordinary, everyday lives, complicated by the fact that certain common words will unexpectedly flip them into ninja mode. The words that will trigger each player’s ninja programming are randomly chosen, and initially unknown to the affected player; rather, the player to your left is given your list of words, and is responsible for informing you when one of them has been spoken, but is strictly forbidden from telling you what they are. The resulting not-particularly-subtle metaphor for coping with trauma is acknowledged, but is played entirely for laughs.  

An Apocalypse Engine game about funny talking animals that plays with the trope of each animal having a single hyper-specialised talent or set of talents by discarding stats and instead giving each player character a direct rating in one or more basic moves (the number of basic moves per character being dependent on the size of the group). You can only attempt a basic move if you have a rating in it; otherwise, you automatically take the failure/6- result if you try. In essence, the player characters as a group collectively add up to a single reasonably competent character, while individually being defined as much by the gaping holes n their basic toolkits as by their capabilities.  

A sort of Atelier-series-meets-Blades-in-the-Dark setup where the player characters take on the roles of a gang of rogue alchemists peddling basement-brewed magic potions in a kingdom where magic potions are very much illegal. The “War on Drugs” satire isn’t even slightly veiled, with the kingdom’s over the top anti-potion propaganda starkly contrasting with the fact that most of the player characters’ products are relatively benign Dungeons & Dragons style potions that do stuff like heal wounds or make you fireproof. Mostly very rules-light, apart from a set of very detailed mechanics for gathering ingredients, brewing potions, and – of course – potion interactions and side effects.  

Body-swapping transhuman shenanigans by way of magical girl tropes. The setup takes the body horror aspect of Puella Magi Madoka Magica to its logical-yet-absurd conclusion: magical girls voluntarily upload their souls into special crystals which allow them to send teleoperated bodies out on missions while remaining at a safe distance from the action. Each player character would have a selection of bodies customised to their specifications, available in human, fairy, and cute talking animal varieties. (i.e., “mascots” in this setting are just magical girls who happen to currently be operating a fairy or cute talking animal body.) This arrangement is presented as positive and empowering, with no horrifying twist.
