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!

Oh wow! That sounds rough.

I have a nice full arm cast from my elbow to my wrist (Oberarmschiene). I just learned that I will have it removed next week already, because they don't want to immobilize it for too long, but I was told it will hurt a lot after it's removed, so we'll see how that goes...

My thumb is indeed mobile, but my wrist is locked in place, so it is indeed quite uncomfortable to grip a mouse.
