What games can I play with one hand?
BACKGROUND:
I recently faceplanted off my bicycle coming home from work, fracturing my left wrist and breaking my front teeth (for nightmare fuel pics, check out my GoFundMe page: gofund.me/AndrewAccident . The big boss at my work says they can't have me working while I'm a cast, even though my job only consists of sitting at a compute formatting advertising. I will be in this cast for at least four weeks. I'm spending most of my time looking for work to make up for lost revenue, but in my off time I'm finding my gaming choices very limited and I need suggestions as to what I can play. Since I'm not getting paid right now I have to find free alternatives. I need the distraction while I recover since I'm stuck at home. I'm right-handed, can work the mouse with no problem, and can type one-handed.

GAMING HISTORY:
I've been a gamer since the first Pong machine showed up at my local pizza joint when I was seven. I progressed from the 2600 console to a Commodore 64. Later a relative sat me down in front of his 486 and introduced me to Doom which hooked me into PC gaming as the superior format ever since. Up until the accident I was mainly playing CS:GO (still a Silver 1, but I enjoy the gameplay). I enjoy first-person shooters in all shapes, but am open to most kinds of games. I've played CCGs (I have Hearthstone, and I used to love Etherlords II), adventure (LucasArts and Sierra classic gameplay), turn-based strategy, early real-time strategy (which does't seem likely given my condition), RPGs and JRPGs (I loved Stick Of Truth) and I'm open to any new ideas.

EQUIPMENT:
I have a late 2011 Mac laptop with maxed out RAM with a Windows Bootcamp partition (The Mac side is for my graphic design work; the Windows side is for games)

TL;DR
I'm a PC gamer stuck at home with a fractured left wrist trying to find games I can play with one hand. If you can help out I'd really appreciate it! And if you are going to make jokes about operating a computer with one hand, please do! The more creative the better!

xcom2,ToME,Shadowgate(any point/click),EU4, Grimrock, Stasis, Oxen free, Curious Expedition, Shadowrun, Wasteland,.. prety much anythinng not a shooter/driving/flying game! Im always playing that way but you adapt if its permenant. Turn based, Rggue-like, point click adventure, puzzle exploration, its limitless. Just stay way from fps/twitch shooters and youre good to go. Im trying POE now, with pause its doable.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been any post like, "[pornograpgic game title], I play it one handed all the time."

Anyways: one finger death punch, it's basically designed to be played with one or two fingers.

its my drug
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is entirely playable with mouse only. Or mouse and keyboard, or keyboard only.

It's also a 50-hour RPG that's very well-regarded, so you can't go wrong with it.

I hope your injuries heal quickly!

OP spent a lot of time just to tell us he wants to play games and masturbate at the same time.
