The fact there is an in-universe, fantastic reason why it makes sense to commit suicide maybe makes it justifiable for the characters, but doesn't change that they ate killing themselves.

And the fact the player is made to rationalize and argue for it is what makes it feel worse, because the player themself is induced to feel good about suicide.

It's like the message here is "if you feel your situation has no possible solution, you should consider killing yourself".

The problem is that suicidal people irl will also feel their lives have no possible solution. That's why it is something that happens, it happens to hopeless people. It's easy for us to say the V3 characters had no other choice, but suicidal people irl think they have no other choice too.

While they are playing the game they won't think the game is realistic, but they may get the message that it's okay to suicide when life seems hopeless. And that is what should be avoided.
