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!

    I know you said your right arm is broken, but The 7th Guest (and the sequel, The 11th Hour, but the puzzles are very difficult) would be easy to play with your off-hand mouse anyways

    just make sure you use ScummVM for them, because the versions that Steam/GOG are selling aren’t very stable

    similarly, the first 3 Monkey Island games, or Myst/Riven

      Oh wow, there’s some nostalgia.

      I’ve done Monkey Island already, and enjoyed the new one too. I haven’t played Myst sine I was 8 and my uncle had it on his computer and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

        Myst is a very tough game. Very much a 90s game where you’re supposed to play it for months, not just blitz through it in a weekend.

        For more point and click games, check out ScummVM, they support a ton of them
