I found this link that catalogs hundreds of pen and paper rpgs including a comprehensive synopsis of the basic setting and the game mechanics. This guy has got some obscurities in there!

How about this?

 

Panty Explosion: a psychic schoolgirl adventure game
1st ed by Jake Richmond, Matt Schlotte (2006) Atarashi Games
A modern-day horror RPG about Japanese schoolgirls who secretly fight demons, some of whom have psychic powers. Each character has "Godai" stats based on five elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Void) which which represent different ways of resolving conflicts. For example, Fire is aggression and resolving issues with violence, while Water is wit and social. Character creation is by setting these traits, picking an agenda, another PC as Best Friend, and another PC as Rival, then voting for most popular. A secret random draw determines which PC is psychic. It uses a dice pool conflict resolution system (using d6, d8, d10, and d12), where successes are narrated by the Best Friend player, and failures are narrated by the Rival player.

 

Paul "Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it... All that matters is that today, two stood against many. Valor pleases you, so grant me this one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, the HELL with you!"

  For some bizarre reason I thought of Cenda when reading that one.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing to be associated with Panty explosion....

Og: The Role-Playing Game
1st ed by Aldo Ghiozzi (1995) Wingnut Games
2nd ed (2000)
Unearthed ed by Robin D. Laws (2007)
A humorous beer-and-pretzels mini-RPG about cavemen vs dinosaurs. Players choose 1 of 5 types of cavemen: strong caveman, smart caveman, fast caveman, hitting caveman, or healthy caveman. The twist is that players are limited to a 17 word vocabulary at all times: you, me, rock, water, fire, tree, hair, bang, sleep, smelly, small, cave, food, thing, big, sun, and go.
