I would agree that it looks like dampening off. They are also quite leggy.

yep, Dampening Off - i recently had a few do exactly what your pictures looked like. I managed to find 2 just after they fell over but hadnt dried out yet. I burried the stems deeper and propped them upright.

After about 2 weeks they're recovering. I was amazed they lived considering they hadnt developed any propper leaves.
Now the 2 are the smallest of my bunch but they have new leaves and are growing nicley ;)
