This mechanic is the heart of many games like Diablo, Hades, and Binding of Isaac.
Rogue had permadeath. Once you died, you started over. However, a lot of modern Rogue-likes return you to town -- though Diablo was originally supposed to have permadeath -- so they're not 100% following the original mechanic, but the heart of it is all still there. Some will let you keep a few things each play (e.g. gold, or specific slots in your inventory) which helps it feel more like you're progressing.
Anyway, you can buy the OG Rogue game on Steam, which is 50% off right now ($1.49) https://store.steampowe
Procedurally Generated: The majority of the world is randomly generated, so you can't 'learn' the layout
Permadeath: You are intended to die, fail, and start over multiple times. Winning the game should generally be hard.
RPG: True roguelikes generally have a strong classical RPG element - statistics, classes, levels, that sort of thing.
Most modern ones are more a 'Roguelite [wikipedia.org]' or 'Roguelike-like'. These will:
Cross-genre: Roguelites can cover a wide variety of genres, from platformer (Rogue Legacy), Card game (Balatro, Slay the Spire), or Bullet Hell/Bullet Heaven (Brotato, Vampire Survivors). While less of a classic RPG, the game often includes RPG-like elements (inventory, stats, customizable abilities)
Permadeath with Gains: Your runs will still end, and you will lose almost everything. But certain things will unlock as you progress - abilities, permanent stat upgrades, shortcuts, dialogue options, etc. Hades is well known for this, but lots of games do this.
Some people bounce of roguelikes/roguelites as being too repetitive. For example, I love Diablo, but once I beat it, I don't replay it that much. Sometimes, a roguelite will suck you in - Balatro has brought roguelites to poker in an amazing way, Slay the Spire is an excellent card-based RPG, and the Bullet Heaven genre (Like Bullet Hell Shump - think Robotron, but you are overpowered and hold your own until completely overwhelemed) is one of my favorites. (If you like that genre, along with Brotato and Vampire Survivors, can I recommend Time Wasters?)

Suppose I will pick it up.
FTL, Dead Cells, Binding of Issac are some other highly regarded ones.
Redacted is considered a decent Hades knockoff.

I still occasionally use the word quaff instead of drink
