Tales From The Loop is an excellent RPG.

You can read our Tales From The Loop review, but suffice it to say, we love this game.
So we’re extra excited to see their first campaign book make its way stateside. Our Friends the Machines and Other Mysteries is a campaign book that introduces 3 new full-length mysteries and 8 shorter ones to help flesh out your world. You’ll also get a guide to creating your own hometown as a Tales From The Loop style setting.
