Thank you for playing!
The danger level shows the strength of all nearby enemies, not their number. So if it shows 7, it means there could be (for example) two enemies of strength 5 and 2. Or 3 enemies of strength 1, 2, 4. Etc. Different enemies have different strength. When your character fights an enemy/they lose the corresponding amount of health. But we don’t have a detailed explanation of that inside the game. Thanks for playing!
There was an idea to make characters different, but there was no time to implement it.
