Not really. It's mentioned that dogs get lost in the forest sometimes but they are not left there on purpose.

While I'm sure the mentioned dogs that got lost in the forest or the animals that got their heads hung up on walls around the town were sad, we did not actively see any animals in distress so far (Chapter 1 and 2, I will update)

Very mild. In some of the commercials, they talk about increased libido and a float in shapes "they can't show at home". But nothing is explicit.

There are Taken wolves that you can kill.
There's a mention of a moose mascot dying but we don't see the actual death. There is a moose skull that must be obtained to proceed in a level.

The player can be stabbed/sliced by Taken.
In the Nightless Night movie, a character is stabbed to death. The stabbing is shown, but not the knife inside the body. There is a lot of blood on the character's face.
In the movie there's also the mention of a character stabbing his own brother to death.
In Coffee World you can find lore on the Huotari well that also involves a character stabbing another character to death.

Kinda. In the original ending it’s heavily implied that a major character has sacrificed themselves. The NG+ “Final Draft” ending changes/clarifies this to show that the character didn’t die after all.

In the Nightless Night short movie (Alan's section) a character vomits and there's a close-up shot of his vomit on the ground for a few seconds (timestamp: 11:58)
It happens when the character is shirtless and crouching around.

Towards the end of the game (spoilers) it looks like Alice Wake killed herself out of grief but it's revealed she faked it. We do see a series of photographs where it appears she walks off a cliff into a lake. That is real, the lake just leads to The Dark Place and we never see the impact, or lack there of.

Constant questioning of whether something is reality of fiction. People also have the power to make fiction reality. This is a heavy main theme of the game.

You use a flashlight as kind of a weapon.
The main character's visions appear suddenly and flickering on screen for a split second ever now and then.

The first run of the game has a bittersweet ending at best, NG+/the final draft recontextualises some of it but it’s not necessarily a happy ending as it still leaves some elements that are yet to be resolved

The first boss has a bloated body due to being underwater for a long time.
There's a news article stating that a child drowned. Whether it's real or not, is left ambiguous so far.
One boss level involves a person who had previously drowned (you can also find their drowned body in the bathtub earlier on)
