Oof. That's all rough, sorry to hear.
 
Nethack's probably the most difficult of that type of that game, or
at least up there, and really requires writing *everything* down (or
a photographic memory, which I don't have) to make much progress.
 
I really liked Zorbus, which is (or was) free, fairly simple, IIRC
you can play it with only using kb as well.
 
I hear Golden Krone Hotel is supposed to have good accessibility
features and good for newbies to roguelikes, though it is $2, not
free.
 
There's always the original Rogue, and the fork Brogue as well.
 
I really like Dungeon Robber which is a little bit different of a
game, but is playable I think 99% keyboard only.
 
You can play a number of old games like platformers with keyboard
only, especially stuff on mame, like I was playing Rastan with only
keyboard a little bit a month or two ago. Doom and the like also work
keyboard. Though those games may be too twitch depending.

Thanks. TBH, the reason I decided to get into Nethack was the Ylliad's
UserFriendly comic Strip. I got to the part where Sid introduces the
game and causes a productivity nightmare.

I'm trying to set it on a server at home so that I could SSH into it. I
know it sounds dumb, but I wanted to put the "Net" in Nethack. Another
thing to try would be using shaders / overlay bezels to simulate playing
it on an VT220.
