Well almost.
With a few tweaks here and there: Peryton RPG

Is this false advertising? I think so.

No, sir. It's not. I'm in no relationship with this company. However I own a copy for some time now. And liked some of the ideas which I now find in the 5E playtest
Peryton is a nice d20 game from 2009.
It contains rules for

* advantage/disadvantage (however a flat +2/-2 bonus instead of two dice)
* a loose skill system
* ability-based saving throws/skill mechanics

What it doesn't has is
* hitpoint/damage progression per level

This can be easily fixed.

There are a few lighter/retroey d20 games that 5E kinda looks like. Castles and Crusaders could be another one.

You know this is a rule in 3E, right? Favourable conditions give +2, unfavourable -2.

And modifiers are quite different, mechanically, from the multiple die roll mechanic of advantage/disadvantage.

Moved to appropriate forum, as this isn't about 5e.

And how exactly is playing some retroclone the same as playing 5e?

Come on now.

To be honest, my playtests have pretty much seemed like I was playing a retroclone of D&D, so I can see that part. At least a little.
