Hey, /tg/
I'm paranoid schizophrenic and I tender a different delusion every few months to add to my collection of pointless bullshit to obsess over.
But, basically, have you ever seen Men in Black? The dude played by David Cross basically says that old ass movies and whatnot are like a key, or map or something. They have hidden, secret information in them, and show a timeline of events involving extraterrestrials.
I was thinking what if the same were true for pnp RPGs. How much real esoteric knowledge is stored in just D&D alone?
So, my question to you is this - what game has the most accurate depiction of alchemy and hermeticism, and delving further, demonology and ritual magick.
I want to know the name of the system so I can pore through the books.

This isn't exactly what you want, but on the topic of shit with hidden meanings, Unknown Armies is all about that.
Unknown Armies is about modern occultism and conspiracies, it's a setting where a lot of scenarios where paranoid thoughts you might have turn out to all be true simultaneously and wrong at the same time.
Fans of Unknown Armies tend to collect weird news articles for inspiration for their games. Here's a collection of things found by fans:

Neither are dragons, but that doesn't stop people from talking about them as if they were.
