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:

  1. On PC, of couse
  2. Can be played only with the keyboard
  3. No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes)
  4. I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven’t yet found one that I love.
  5. 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!

    Slay the Spire and Monster Train are great singleplayer card games that can be played with just the mouse.

    Pretty much any turn based RPG is on the table, I can easily recommend Octopath Traveler 2.

    You can also play story-driven games like Telltale games and Pheonix Wright, those are pretty fun.

      Slay the Spire works great on a touchscreen as well. It runs great on my Surface.

      However, there is a weird bug if playing on a Surface, that I feel obligated to let other know when recommending this game. You have to have the keyboard attached for the touchscreen controls to work in Slay the Spire. But you can flip it around the back and still play with the touchscreen.

      Slay the spire would make a broken arm recovery feel like time travel, lol.

      I also play civ 5/6 with the next action button bound to an extra button on my mouse.

      Probably a good time for OP to invest in a multi button mouse as well
