Not precisely, but arguably close enough. Early in the game, a wolf pup's home is attacked, and all of his humans are killed or carried off or otherwise vanish in the confusion. Some years later the wolf, now grown, is reunited with his humans, and he recognizes them and everything is happy again. But it *is* made clear that he had some feral years, during which he pined for his humans.

While some abused characters do seek vengeance, including bloody vengeance, this typically results in a quick death for their abusers, not torture or any other sort of prolonged agony. Nobody voices any desire to "turn the tables", as it were. At most they say these people need to be stopped, which they do with grim efficiency.

Clive was abused as a child, which is only shown through Anabella behaving coldly towards him and speaking ill of him when he is not present; no physical abuse is shown. Other than that, children, especially Bearer children, are shown to be abused throughout the game. There is a sidequest from Herman in the endgame that I would suggest avoiding (it is not plot relevant) if child abuse is a sensitive topic for you; it contains disturbing details of children being tortured and dying.

Late in the game, as most of the cast is mourning the death of a major character, the party's wolf also mourns, howling in the way things like this are usually portrayed.
There are also a number of sidequests where the wolf seems to be depressed or at least preoccupied. The player can resolve these issues.

Confused by the yes answers. I’m assuming this may be due to Clive being called “Mythos” by two antagonists— which he does vocally state his distaste for— but that is not his deadname/birthname.

Ages are only noted in supplemental materials, but the backstory contains a 16-year age gap, while the main story contains a 10-year age gap and a 37-year age gap. All three of these involve the same younger partner, who is 28 years old for the last two. But the first one happened earlier, and we do not know how old she was then.

Lots of scenes with blood splatters or splashes. Decapitated head shown briefly. Gore isn't focused on to make it gross, but is used to make a point in the story.

Some antagonists wield huge cannons (as melee weapons as well as for shooting), but this doesn't really resemble what we tend to think of as gun violence.
