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!

If you're willing to bend on the RTS thing, Tooth and Tail is an RTS game that is almost completely played with your left hand in keyboard mode - it's an RTS designed for gamepads so it only uses wasd and like 6 action buttons (rally selected, rally all, cycle selection forward, cycle back, build, sell). It uses the mouse buttons to click for the rally commands but not the pointing by default, you could rebind the mouse click rally commands to like lshift and ctrl or something like that and it should work well. But the single player campaign does get difficult towards the halfway mark
