Quick FamilyEcho Of The Werewolves, Who Infects Who And When, Because I Can Never Remember All Of Them

quick FamilyEcho of the werewolves, who infects who and when, because I can never remember all of them off the top of my head

blue boxes are unavoidable, pink boxes are dependant on player choices

I checked the wiki and every bit of ending text I could find, so I'm fairly confident these are all correct, but feel free to say something if you see an error

fun things I realised while making this:

Abi is the only counsellor who is guaranteed to be cured if she gets infected

not counting individual QTEs, Dylan has the most opportunities to be infected, two of which are caused by his hand being bitten

Caleb has the most guaranteed infections, while Silas has the most potential infections

Dylan and Kaitlyn are the only counsellors who can be infected by Silas, meaning they would be the only ones still infected if Caleb died and Laura failed to kill Silas

it would be impossible to get an ending with everyone infected, as Abi will always be cured and Ryan cannot survive without killing Chris, curing everyone Chris infected

Dylan can be infected again after losing his hand, but it will not grow back. this is either because he doesn't stay infected long enough to turn, or maybe werewolf regeneration simply isn't strong enough

Dylan is the only counsellor who can be infected twice in the same playthrough, and also the only one who can be infected by the same werewolf at different times

if Jacob is infected, he can actually survive having his head crushed in a bear trap

an infected Kaitlyn can survive being crushed by a storage container

Nick is the only counsellor who can infect an NPC, that being Bobby, however Bobby will always amputate his finger to prevent infection

Laura, Max and Emma are the only counsellors who can infect other counsellors

Max is only counsellor guaranteed to infect someone, and the only counsellor who can potentially infect multiple people

Abi, Dylan, Ryan and Kaitlyn can never kill anyone while in werewolf form. Abi and Ryan are cured too soon, Kaitlyn is infected too late, and Dylan seemingly stays in/near the scrapyard after turning

Emma and Dylan are the only counsellors who can be infected by more than one werewolf, meaning they're also the only ones who can turn at various times

Dylan will only turn in-game if infected in Chapter 5, meaning Emma is the only one who can turn at various times during the game

Ryan is the only counsellor whose survival is dependent on being infected. infection can save multiple characters from various failed QTEs, but Ryan is the only one guaranteed to die unless infected

Laura is the only werewolf that can potentially infect someone while still in human form, and consequently the only one who can infect someone with consent

if Dylan and Kaitlyn are not infected by Silas, every character could hypothetically be cured by killing only Caleb. unfortunately this wouldn't work in-game, as Kaylee always dies, Chris can only die before Caleb, and surviving the Hackett House forces Ryan and Laura to confront Silas

by the same logic, the main conflict could be over as early as Chapter 3 if Caleb were caught or killed
