Seconding the Bitterblack recommendation, it's the closest a 'big' game has ever gotten to nailing the kind of dungeon crawling one would expect from older RPGs/TTRPGs.
I love Tearring, but if you don't like its maps than there's really nothing that can be done to like the game, but I will say that Berwick has very different map design and possibly the best map design for any srpg? That may be taking it too far, but if you're worried about Berwick's maps, don't.
And if you want another Mystery Dungeon game with a more full plot I'd reccomend Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon. I'm not THAT familiar with mystery dungeon games besides Etrian Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon but Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon is a really good game and has a more substantial plot and progression. Most other Mystery Dungeon games have similar progression as PMD but they also don't have much of a story, if what I gather is correct.

@ninjabunny i'd probably be more forgiving towards the maps if there was something else for me to get attached to (i like fire emblem gaiden of all things) but sadly none of it really left a mark on me more than "this personal weapon is really funny". i am still very interested in berwick though, hopefully i'll get to it this year
i'll have to take a look at the other licensed mystery dungeon games then, i tried the ds shiren the wanderer last year and from what i could tell it was just a roguelike with a persistent item store and i just assumed all the others were like that as well lol

The PMD sequel games (Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky) are excellent if you haven't already played them!

looking up the adventure game bullshit in early ys is a good call. love those two games, but that stuff's not great
