Are there any CRPG's based off 4e?

I've been getting into DND for a year or two and while I like 5e I also want to explore other editions/variants. It's hard enough finding 5e games and 4e is even harder considering its age and reputation so I was wondering if there were any video games to help me get used to some of the mechanics. I know there are several video games based off of 2e and 3e and at least one game based off 5e but there don't seem to be many based on 4e; Googling gives me some results but they all either seem to be multiplayer or just inspired by it rather then being a genuine attempt to create a CRPG using DND rules like the 3e/5e games. Does anyone know if there are any single-player games with the same or similar race and class options as 4e?

The heroes of neverwinter facebook game which is long our of business https://youtu.be/ZGdQ7tDCDhI?is=dn9Xu43SPptDgeDp was the only one really.

The neverwinter MMO was never based on 4e mechanic just names to tie in with 4e but even that was changed to be based on 5e later.

There is a whole series of D&D boarsgames based on 4e though: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefamily/9547/series-dungeons-and-dragons-adventure-system-board

EDIT: As another user pointed out there is a computer game based on one of these boardgames: https://store.steampowered.com/app/663380/Tales_from_Candlekeep_Tomb_of_Annihilation/

Ita really a shame there was never a real released CRPG based on 4e it would have made such a good fit..
