I've been on a Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok non-stop ride for the last year. It's the most fun I've had in years. It's a very crunch-friendly system (OMG and its indie) that uses some very unique game mechanics. The production value is stupendous, on par with Paizo books. I highly recommend it!

It's been summed up nicely in some online reviews:

A game that has a very similar dark feel but has much different mechanics is Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok. It's the end of the world, and you exist in the second age of the great apocalypse. The sun and moon have been devoured by 2 celestial wolves and the world in blanketed in an eternal winter called Fimbulwinter.

As you can imagine society has gone to hell in a handbasket. Food is very scarce, and fighting over key supplies like light and warmth have people forgetting about their ethics. All of the mechanics are highly original and work really well in a crunch-friendly way. I've been playing it for about a year now and I highly suggest it!
