About the topic of suicide, if it isn't explicitly mentioned in our story and it's presented in a non-explicit manner, is it okay?

My story is set in a surreal world so the person doesn't actually die, but the action they perform would be suicidal in the real world.

Hi there, it very much depends on how you handle the topic. Generally speaking I'd say try to stay away from the topic, we want this gamejam to be open to everyone, and to be as inclusive as possible.
If your game does include suicide, make sure there is a warning in place that is very visible for everyone to see and it should be fine. 

Hi Sigh - I saw your message about including a content warning regarding suicide.  When you have time, can you take a look at the latest comment on my submission page regarding my content warning?  Let me know if it's acceptable or if there's anything else you'd like me to do.  Thanks!

You have very clearly outlined what happens and how you get there, no surprises. Perfect.
