Keyward
Dungeons with keys, locks, branches, and payoff. Keyward builds a progression graph first, then fills the rooms with the monsters, treasure, hazards, and details a GM needs at the table.
The Core Loop
Generate the whole keyed dungeon in one pass, or reveal it room by room while the players explore. Doors can be open, locked, boss-locked, hidden, sealed, or one-way. The graph validator checks that the required keys appear before the doors they open.
