It's something I'd recommend checking out if you want to mix and match genres honestly but I don't know what I'd say feels new or exciting other than player character interactions, which is important for sure but still.

I think if you're only 5e familiar, it's a good place to start dipping your toes into it because the book layout is actually pretty solid but if you've played a number indie games it feels like you'll say "Huh, that's neat" more than being impressed by any one thing.

It's got the typical playbook stuff, but combat is a little bit more centralized than most PbtA, though not by much. It's very much designed to be setting agnostic and the book itself includes a lot of examples of different ways to flavor your game.

So, I haven't gone through much of it yet, but from what I can tell so far, it's somewhere between modern D&D and something more akin to Powered by the Apocalypse with a bit of Forged in the Dark thrown in for good measure. It's very improv focused and, mechanically, streamlined for play.
