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!

Are you sure it has to be keyboard-only? Would a mouse or cheap touchpad work with your off hand, so long as the games don't require fast response or fine accuracy?

Slay the Spire is a mouse-driven deck-builder.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a rhythm-based roguelike that uses only four keys to play.

Both are excellent.
