PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm? (discuss.tchncs.de)

So, yesterday I broke my dominant arm. Yay! For the next 6 weeks, I have a cast, and at least for now, I can't use my right hand or arm at all (I am typing this with my left hand).

I'm looking for suggestions what I can play. Some thoughts:

On PC, of couse
Can be played only with the keyboard
No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes)
I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven't yet found one that I love.
Nothing too difficult

Here's a link to my Steam profile, if that helps: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028619119/games/?tab=all

Thank you all for any advice!

Some of the best old school turn based RPGs are on sale at Humble Bundle at the momemnt. Those should be playable with a broken arm. Get well soon!

Even Baldur's Gate 3 should be playable with one hand if you're after something more modern.

True

I actually think BG 1&2 might be harder because of Real Time with Pause, come to think of it. Though if you have a mouse with rebind-able extra buttons it'd be alright, just set pause to a thumb button and you're good to go.
