Generate random tree on map (split map into equal-sized rooms, apply MST)
Pick random room as start, find longest path - that's the end
Along main path, identify branches - for each one encountered, place a lock blocking the next room and its key in one of the branches before this lock
For every unused branch, place something of interest
At last room, place a boss/exit

Polish:

Add shortcuts on main path as long as this doesn't bypass any locks
Add enemies of increasing difficulty
Add keys for optional branches too
Add one-way doors at end of branches to minimise backtracking (they must lead to shallower nodes of the same path)
