@INeedMana d6 system that is pretty easy to pick up on even a first read through. They do a great job of having short evocative descriptions, specifically to make it real weird fantasy but with a lot of room to flesh things out at the table. Core rules are free as a PDF if you sign up for their email list.

Weird in any way or does it have some kind of flavour?
@INeedMana I think the setting is like if Fritz Leiber wrote Adventuretime. Giant expansive city, characters run the gamut from humans to robots to mythical creatures, and back again. Lots of factions. I have the Numinous Edition, and the artwork does heavy lifting too (this is their dragon). If you want to get a good feel for the setting, I would suggest grabbing the PDF, and checking out a handful of the character backgrounds. They're all just a few sentences a piece, and hit the vibe well.
Ok, so just weird-weird, got it :D
@INeedMana Absolutely, and that's not meant to be a deterrent! Opens a ton of player options and influence on the story. Great for a group that likes group story telling and has seen Adventuretime haha
