That's an interesting idea. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment or perhaps I just have a poor conception of genres, but, IMO, one of the defining features of dungeon crawlers which seperates them from rpgs is that they're, for the most part, randomly generated. It pains me to say it because it seems rather absurd, but I feel like RPG is actually closer.

Edit: I just finished watching the video. xD
