Seeing how this is currently in the Bundle of Holding, can someone give me an elevator pitch? What does it do different/better/worse than D&D, PF, Dungeon World, Burning Wheel?

It's just a DnD retro-clone that can't stop raping me you misogynist pig stop glorifying violence to womyn help I'm being triggered!!!

OSR + edgy dogshit setting.
Skippable.

Unless you are into OSR, there is literally no reason to even look in the general direction of that game. And if you are into OSR, then B/X is still superior to that weak-ass retro clone.

This current bundle is a "Worst-of" deal, and I'd skip it. There are only a couple of books from LotFP worth getting (Quelong and A Red and Pleasant Land), and the three books by Geoffrey McKinney are utter shit (Carcosa and the "of the Unknown" books.)

The encumbrance system. I noticed Starfinder made their version of carrying items similar to it for their new game as well.
Aside from that it's got a few, keyword few, decent modules. Unfortunately the game maker started shoving in his magical realm bullshit into most of his other modules.
Anything you could use this system for, you're better off converting it to a better system.

Define edgy.

It's an OSR game that actively encourages GMs to make the players as miserable as possible.
No, not the player characters, the players.

>All characters within the local area (to be determined by the situation) roll 1d6. Those that roll a1 are at fault for the situation. All characters not at fault will become allies in the drive to hunt down, subdue, and mutilate the genitals of all who are at fault. After this is done, all who are not at fault must make a saving throw versus Magic. Those who fail will seek to kill the parties at fault, and all who stand in their way of doing so. The effect ends only when all of the characters at fault have been dealt with, although they will not be hostile with any of the characters present who are not at fault , even if they were hostile or longtime enemies before Summon was cast. If nobody is at fault, then things will get ugly. All characters become obsessed and fixated on one random other character in the vicinity, and will attempt to have sex with that character—at any cost. The character will first attempt to subdue the subject of his obsession, to unconscious if he can or death if he must, before having his way. Male/female pairings will result in conception, and 10% of male-male pairings will as well. The offspring will
be an otherworldly creature—use these Summon charts to determine exactly what, assuming a 1 HD
creature—which will do 1d10 damage to a woman
carrying it as it is born, 2d10 to a man. The effect
ends for a character when his lust is sated.
