Video game “DMart”

The work "Dmart" is created in the style of pixel graphics, which, in its own way, is a reference to the games of the 80s/90s. In an environment dominated by hyperrealism and more powerful graphics devices, the pixel graphic style has recently experienced its renaissance, mainly due to the so-called "indie" studios. Such a visual style gives players a unique experience in the gaming process, because due to the small number of pixels, there is more that can be interpreted by the person himself, using his imagination “to fill in the gaps”. The exact niche from which the PC game "DMart" is inspired is the "RPGMaker" era of horror games, which had a greater emphasis on dark stories and relatively simple game mechanics.
