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!

FTL: Faster Than Light, an incredible rouge-like in space

Pros:

All actions have a leyboard shortcut
you can pause anytime and plan ahead
will satisfy your analytical brain that needs puzzles
randomized, each game will be different
can be played in short bursts should you get tired with the cast or whatever on
is amazing
randomized
dirt cheap

Cons:

you still need to use the mouse to aim weapons, albeit no need to be ultra precise...most of the time
randomized...will punish you sometimes so you just have to take it on the chin. Part of the fun and all that.
