* ''VideoGame/{{Siren}}''. Akira Shimura shoots himself with his hunting rifle after having just too much of the Cosmic Horror that the village of Hanuda became. Unfortunately being that Hanuda has become Cosmic Horror, instead of dying he revives some time later as one of the many Shibito, and cracks up when he realizes that he's still alive. This is repeated in the [=PS3=] remake ''Blood Curse'', with Seigo Saiga turning his shotgun on himself after assisting one of the other characters, only to revive as a Shibito and use that shotgun on the partner of a third character when they come through a few hours later.

* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'', the final chapter reveals that this happened with [[spoiler:Ori. She attempted to sacrifice herself to put out the Sacred Flame at the Fellsun Ruins. However, Partitio's optimism made her doubt whether or not the Moonshade Order really needed to turn the world over to Vide. Her injuries were good enough to count as the necessary sacrifice, but her doubts stopped them from being fully lethal, and she was saved by some traveling apothecaries staying at the nearby town.]]

* ''VideoGame/LostJudgment'': Mitsuru Kusumoto jumped off the roof of Kurokawa Academy after enduring relentless bullying from his classmates. Instead, he survived the fall, only to end up in a coma for thirteen years.

* Subverted in the opening scene of ''VideoGame/Persona3'': Yukari is shown pointing a gun at her head and trying to pull the trigger with shaking hands, then dropping it and crying, but it turns out she was only trying to summon her Persona, not kill herself.
** In ''VideoGame/Persona5'', Shiho Suzui, unable to take Kamoshida's abuse any longer, [[DrivenToSuicide jumps off a school roof]], convincing the protagonist and Ryuji, who had previously been afraid of killing Kamoshida, that the abuse must end no matter what happens to him, and contributing to Ann's awakening to Carmen. Thankfully, Shiho fails to pick somewhere high enough to kill her and ends up hospitalised instead, and by the time she's recovered, Kamoshida has long since faced justice.
* In Agent Stone's backstory of ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal: Black'', he tries to shoot himself in the mouth after realizing that his anger not only led him to kill the target, but also a girl and her mother. However, it fails because the gun was out of bullets.
* It's never shown or stated outright, but Adrian Andrews' attempted suicide in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' was most likely this.
* One of these sets off the plot of ''VideoGame/Postal2''[='=]s expansion pack ''Apocalypse Weekend'': at the end of the base game, the Postal Dude shot himself upon realizing he forgot his nagging wife's rocky road ice cream. The expansion opens with the revelation that he survived the shooting, though the bullet lodged in his brain ends up causing all sorts of crazy, ''Franchise/SilentHill''-esque hallucinations throughout the next two in-game days.
* Clem and Crystal from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' are two [[StepfordSmiler seemingly very cheerful]] children who are secretly suicidal. It's implied their self esteem issues are due to bullying. Their behavior for the most part is played for [[BlackComedy dark laughs]]. Clem and Crystal try to poison themselves and jump off a building but both attempts fail (though the latter was an InterruptedSuicide).
* ''VideoGame/FatalFrameMaidenOfBlackWater'': Among the 5 girls who made a SuicidePact to drown themselves and die together, Fuyuhi and Haruka survived. [[spoiler: [[SacrificialLamb The malevolent spiritual influence of the mountain ensures they die for real later on, though]].]]
* In ''VideoGame/ForeverHome'', Kina throws herself off a cliff after her hometown is destroyed for the second time. She loses control of her light magic and survives the fall, but gives herself amnesia and a different appearance. The party later recruits her as "Eidol" and actually have to back off from revealing her memories in her character quest to keep her from committing suicide again.



* In ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' completing the quest ''Giddyup ‘N ‘Go'' all the way including visiting the Wilson Atomatoys Corporate HQ and retrieving the quest giver Arlen Glass’ holotape from his daughter, has him reveal that after he lost his job, then lost his wife and daughter on the day the bombs fell, Glass tried to commit suicide by sitting near a radioactive bomb crater. Except the radiation didn’t kill him, it ghoulified him instead.
* ''VideoGame/Fallout76'' has "Lucky Lou", a ghoul who intends to kill himself for fear of one day going feral and attacking his friends. However, because he's [[BornLucky inherently lucky]], any attempt to do so mysteriously backfires. His many attempts to commit suicide via increasingly elaborate methods ends up becoming a whole gauntlet of suicide traps that the player has to get through to find Lou, with Lou ultimately asking the player to kill him in exchange for his help with a mission. Once the mission is over, however, Lou has second thoughts (and even implies this may have been the real reason his previous attempts failed) once the player convinces him that going feral isn't inevitable.
* ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'': After his botched attempt to kick Conker's ass, Frankie the Pitchfork [[HangingAround hangs himself]] out of shame. But since he doesn't have "a neck of any description" he's just left hanging from the rafters of the barn until Conker cuts him down later on.
* ''VideoGame/ThemePark'': In most versions, when the park owner tries to commit suicide due to going bankrupt, the attempt fails since he jumps from the first floor.

* In Agent Stone's backstory of ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal: Black'', he tries to shoot himself in the mouth after realizing that his anger not only led him to kill the target, but also a girl and her mother. However, it fails because the gun was out of bullets.
* It's never shown or stated outright, but Adrian Andrews' attempted suicide in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' was most likely this.
* One of these sets off the plot of ''VideoGame/{{Postal}} 2''[='=]s expansion pack ''Apocalypse Weekend'': at the end of the base game, the Postal Dude shot himself upon realizing he forgot his nagging wife's rocky road ice cream. The expansion opens with the revelation that he survived the shooting, though the bullet lodged in his brain ends up causing all sorts of crazy, ''Franchise/SilentHill''-esque hallucinations throughout the next two in-game days.
* Clem and Crystal from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' are two [[StepfordSmiler seemingly very cheerful]] children who are secretly suicidal. It's implied their self esteem issues are due to bullying. Their behavior for the most part is played for [[BlackComedy dark laughs]]. Clem and Crystal try to poison themselves and jump off a building but both attempts fail (though the latter was an InterruptedSuicide).
* ''FatalFrame V'' has suicide as one of its themes and is set in a suicide hotspot, so it's no stranger to this trope.
** Among the 5 girls who made a SuicidePact to drown themselves and die together, Fuyuhi and Haruka survived. [[spoiler: [[SacrificialLamb The malevolent spiritual influence of the mountain ensures they die for real, though]].]]
** As shown in a flashback, Yuuri, one of the main playable characters of the game, was about to jump off a cliff, but Hisoka stopped her in time and took her in. [[spoiler: Whether she stays alive at the end of the game depends on which ending the player gets.]]
