There are some frames where they’ve selected the mice and they don’t appear to have much in the way of RPG mechanics. Certainly nothing of the same scale as Rimworld. Plus, the scale of the game precludes telling the same kinds of stories. You can tell by the scale of it that mice are meant to be cheap and plentiful. I’d imagine in a good run in this game you might easily have over 50 mice. Whereas on any reasonable difficulty of Rimworld, you are lucky to have more than 10 pawns.
I’d say both that you’re making a lot of assumptions off of not a lot of information, and that it can be inspired by RimWorld without being exactly like RimWorld, perhaps even with different strengths, but it certainly looks like they were inspired by RimWorld.
It’s hard to say at this point, but there’s a lot in the trailer that makes me think “Timberborn” and only a couple of frames and pixels that make me think “Rimworld”. And given that their marketing tagline is “inspired by Rimworld” you’d think they would show off any Rimworldiness a bit more in the trailer.
