LAPYS
cute, cursed & handmade
Lapys is a solo studio crafting small, emotionally resonant games with strong visual identity and tightly integrated design. Every project is handmade — from code to character art — with a focus on mood, replayability, and narrative tone.
I work across game design, illustration, UI, and photography, with a passion for building experiences where visuals, systems, and story all speak the same emotional language.
Hi, I’m Larissa Pychlau — the developer, designer, and illustrator behind Lapys, a solo studio crafting cozy, character-driven games with a handmade charm and a little chaos under the hood.
With a background in software engineering and visual design, I build almost every part of my games — from logic systems and pixel art to narrative and UI — infusing each world with warmth, intention, and a love for the strange and memorable.
