I'm not one of the creators but I really want to share an RPG that I really love, now on Kickstarter in its english version in collaboration with mana project studios (the ones of Journey to Ragnarok). Its name is Not the End and in 2020 it won the the italian "gioco di ruolo dell'anno" (rpg of the year) prize, which is i think the most important italian award for Rpgs.

Last year I partecipated to the kickstarter for the italian version and since that moment it became my favourite RPG. It's simple to learn (rules can be explained in 10 minutes even to people who never played an RPG) but it has a lot of depth while playing, since its mechanics somehow leave the players the choice to succeed in what they are doing at the prices of higher consequences, and encourage them to actively support the narrator into adding elements to the story.

It can be played in every setting (I played it in Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Modern, Horror and Anime settings without any problem) and it let the players create exactly the character they want, without limitations, yet keeping them balanced.

Most important thing is that if you want to try the game you don't have to spend money, since the game quickstart, freely downloadable by clicking the top image in the kickstarter page, contains every single rule you need to play and enjoy the game.

Here's the link for the quickstart: https://manaprojectstudio.com/not-the-end-english-edition/download-the-quickstart/

Last thing: it's an highly-narrative game, which lacks the tabletop-like part that games like D&D have (builds, combos, on square grid combat, etc), so if you like that kind of games it may not be the game for you... but I suggest you to try it anyway, with the quickstart eventually, without spending money. I like D&D too but I found this game highly refreshing and now I prefer this way of playing over the others.
