My psych patient realizes how to kill themselves while on watch. I love my technicians but 90% of them don't have enough attention span or intuition to catch it. The only reason I caught it that one time was because I spent my 4 years in school sitting 1:1 as a job and one of my pastimes was looking around the room and trying to figure out how I would do it. I had a patient pick probably the single method most likely to be successful actually. The look of shock on their face when I immediately snatched it was almost worth the paperwork. It would have been even cooler if I'd told them I thought of that three years prior but there was some grappling involved and I was pretty out of breath. And no, I'm not telling you what the method is, but TLDR: nobody's beat me at this particular game just yet.
I love how this implies the protagonist just wants to die
There was an edgy but very fun indie game a few years ago (maybe 5-6?) where one player played as a parent running around and childproofing the house while the other played as the baby trying to kill themselves. The game was surprisingly fun, and weirdly putting the logic you'd heard your entire life to keep children safe to die was always quiet funny, from getting forks to plugs to filling the bath etc.
Taking inspiration to make a game in a psyche ward in a jail break / death is victory multiplayer game would probably make for a popular streaming game, although the topic is as horrible as the baby death game, perhaps worse because instead of being in the role of a silly unfortunate baby, you'd be in the role of somebody fully aware and acting with premeditation.
