“This looks like a higher budget rip-off of The Long Drive.” Seems like that was mostly correct except for some reason PD has a time limit, which is kind of a bad move for this genre IMO.

As far as I can tell they are just different games in different genres.

PD is structured differently, you do short missions where you collect resources and explore in new areas while avoiding hazards, then return to a hub to do management. It’s often said to be a survival game which is pretty accurate.
