Yup, it is indeed Kya: Dark Lineage. Thanks Smashman 2893.
The main villain blasts people with a transformation beam thing that turns them into wolf like creatures that are under his control. There's a Non-Standard Game Over where the if the heroine gets blasted in a particular fight (I think against her brother, who just got transformed as well) we see her transform and then get booted to the Game Over screen in a complete aversion of Heroic Willpower. I think the game was a pretty standard PS 2 era action game with a slightly cartoony art style.
