Recommendations for a low-attention game to play during meetings (sh.itjust.works)

I've been playing Old School Runescape during zoom meetings but I've done all that can be done in a free account and I don't wanna pay the exorbitant membership fee.

Looking for recommendations for a similar game that doesn't require a lot of attention and can be easily paused/resumed at will.

Must be able to run/emulate on Linux

I use dwarf fortress for this but the learning curve is pretty steep as it can be a bit complex but once you get the hang of it and you have a nice fort up and running, you can kindof let it run in the background like an idle game
