The term Fantasy Heartbreaker applies to RPGs trying to be the "Next D&D", or "D&D but different". A few offer some solid and cool ideas. Most end up being forgotten.
Is there a term like that for Call of Cthulhu alternatives, copycats, and wannabes?
Mythos Heartbreaker?
Cthulhu Heartbreaker?

As for FHBs its mostly done by groups who got fed up with 5e, end up using the OGL anyway and alter it only to realize that the alterations do in fact not work as they thought cause one change can break several mechanics. But they cant go back either so it ends up forgotten.
