Patrick Stuart also did this thing called Silent Titans which uses a slight Into the Odd variant rules set. Silent Titans is a full campaign which is centered around living dungeons. There is some Shadows of the Colossus as well.
And the PDF is free at the moment alongside some other marvels: shop.swordfishislands.com/a-bundle-for-quarantine/ . Death is the New Pink appeals to me as well.

In terms of ultra-light systems though, I think Knave may be the best. It’s seven pages but most of them are sometimes hilarious random chargen tables. You can roll up some level 1 freaks and throw them into Stonehell or Xyntillan or whatever and be off to the races in ten minutes. And it works for whatever B/X content you can dig up out of the vaults. It would actually be perfect for Labyrinth. And it’s Ben Milton, so you are using his system with his encounters.
Silent Titans looks amazing, I have that free PDF but the book is an art piece. That Swordfish Islands bundle is incredible, I have the physical books of Hot Springs Island and Tomb of Black Sand, they are just outstanding. Hot Springs Island is the best hex crawl I’ve ever seen.

Veteran groups who are ok rolling off the cuff will be disappointed by the weak mechanics and the frankly daft fan service aspects of the game. I mean, who makes Sir Diddymus into a character class? But fresher players who, from the look of things this is aimed at, will struggle to run the game effectively, especially considering it's repetitive aspects.
Old school gamers with kids - just like Michael- is where it's at. And in some ways it's a shame it couldn't find a bigger niche.
