The house behind the games.
Lakay Games is an independent studio founded by a Haitian creator based in France.
Another image of Haiti in video games.
Haiti is too often told through the same images. Lakay Games wants to open another door: the folklore, the architecture, the language and the imagination of a country video games have barely ever looked at.
Our goal is to create games deeply rooted in their identity, yet built to reach players everywhere in the world.
The beginning of a studio.
Lakay Games was born from the will of a Haitian creator, based in France, to turn the stories of his childhood into modern interactive experiences.
With no big team and no initial infrastructure, the studio is being built project after project, with one simple conviction: Haiti's stories deserve the same ambition as any other.
Today, Lakay Games is carried by a solo developer. It is a starting point, not a limit.
What guides us.
Identity
Creating from one's roots without being limited by them.
Ambition
Building games able to travel beyond borders.
Authenticity
Avoiding clichés and treating cultural references with respect.
Independence
Developing a strong vision without giving up creativity.
Transmission
Sharing stories and imaginations rarely represented.
Progressive excellence
Building each project with more experience and mastery.
Worlds still to explore.
LOUGAWOU opens the path of horror, Manje Lakay the path of warmth, 509 Frontline the path of action. Other directions already feed the studio's vision.
None of these worlds is an announced game. They are the territories Lakay Games wants to explore.
