so is this a spinoff of Elder Scrolls? I'm seeing lots of elder scrolls references
Yes.
It's set in the Elder Scrolls universe and follows the story of a fictional (in terms of TES Lore) Khajiit character who has just moved to Cyrodiil.
It's set some time before the Oblivion CrCIA and the beginning of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
And it features a number of actual characters found in TES:Oblivion, although their actions here are also non-canonical.
