I've been meaning to introduce my group to systems besides dnd and pathfinder. Are there any interesting/foreign systems like pic related but oriented more for one shots? Something niche and interesting but easy to pick up.

I fully recommend Paranoia for that. Get XP, by far the best edition.
>>
Call of Cthulhu is the #1 roleplaying game in Japan because it is perfect for one-shot sessions.

cosmic horror kind of sucks though
is Delta Green also good for one shots? how easy is it to teach and play?
>>
I've run several Beyond the Wall oneshots as a way to break groups out of DnD.
Traveller works well with oneshots, too!

Delta Green has very minute differences from call of cthulhu, it's nearly the same game but just has different core assumptions of what you'll be doing

OSR is great for one-shots and you should check out all the One-Page Dungeons from the annual contest.

Ventangle, Maid, Golden Sky Stories, all make for good one-shots.

Tenra Bansho Zero has simple gameplay and is designed for one-shots.

Prowlers and Paragons

I think Engine Heart counts as both.

I'll have to upload my excel sheet somewhere (pic related), but the system is easy to make characters in if you can imagine a robot and what it might look like, say operating in a coffee shop, or doing some domestic function.
