About us
Lyra Creative is a digital studio based in Helsinki, Finland. We specialize in game creation and the design of digital simulators. Our aim is to bridge the gap between gaming and high-fidelity simulations, offering the gaming community the chance to explore unique experiences that are otherwise difficult to encounter in real life. Welcome on board.
