I've been playing Life is Strange and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Anything else in a similar vein?

Doki Doki Literature Club. It's free on Steam. Not too long of a game, but it does get really dark. There are themes of suicide in it.

Oh, that's a great choice! It starts off really cutesy and bubbly and lighthearted then slowly devolves into horror. It hits you like a sack of bricks, you won't see what's coming (unless you're already seen spoilers). It's like suddenly staring down into a vortex of insanity :) Totally love this thread by the way!

Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion: HD Rennovation is also another good one, and it's also on Steam. I can't remember if there's a whole lot of suicide themes in the game, but death in general and terror are definitely big themes. Might seem a little repetitive, and might be a little unusual in terms of a horror game, but I'd say it's still worthy of a play.

I got both the original life is strange and before the storm late last month, finished them 2 weeks ago.
Loved it. I had never play a game of that kind.
Funny how i got to play it during a heavy depressive crisis and somehow, the game's sad and forlorn atmosphere mingled with my own state of mind. On one hand i found it depressing but on the other hand it was a beautiful story and i loved it.

I guess mass effect 3 could count as that since it's basically how it ends. Also, the first one deals with the issue of euthanasia in a sidequest.

Loved it! I wasn't expecting it to get into such deep and violent themes, but that only made it better for me. It surprised me.
That pause menu theme song of before the storm still triggers feelings of both sadness and enjoyment in my mind.
I'm very strict and ceptic when it comes to buying games. I normally only buy games that i'm familiar with.
However, sometimes trying a different game is just what you need to refresh a little bit.
Life is strange was one such game.

It also had some great gay and lesbian themes. which for anyone like that. we kind of look for any kind of validation in games and movies.

TES IV: Oblivion's Shivering Isles. It's not a game that features suicide, per se, but rather supplements it. Final Resting is a great quest.

Thank you so much for this rec. Just finished it. What an experience. Don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't played it but I'd definitely highly reccommend even if you don't think you'd enjoy visual novels.

It's best to go into it as blindly as possible but in short, your childhood friend invites you to join a literature club. But all is not as it seems.

Really glad you enjoyed it. It took me for quite a surprise too, and messed with me towards the end. Overall though, it's definitely a great game, especially for psychological horror.

Today I played The Static Speaks My Name which is an interesting game that can be completed in under an hour. I also played Actual Sunlight which was beautiful and took about an hour or so.

I think that you are looking for some dark as fuck game where protagonist goes through hell and that features themes of suicide. Silent hill 2 would be great choice. You might emphatize with the protagonist as he goes through the game encountering fucked up horrific stuff.

The Cat Lady. It's really good and story is heavily based around suicide.

There is an obscure VN called Shira Oka: Second chances which features suicide. It's really long though, and they don't let you skip very efficiently when playing over through the different routes.
