Art of Okami - Home
Welcome to the world of Okami; an action-adventure video game developed by Clover Studio and distributed by Capcom.
The first original title from Capcom's Clover Studio -- headed up by Viewtiful Joe producer Atsushi Inaba. Okami comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Playing as Amatarasu, the sun goddess who takes on the form of a wolf, your goal is to bring life back to the world. With each beast you defeat, the world's life force is restored little by little, with colors returning to the world
Set in an unspecified period of classical Japanese history, Okami combines several Japanese myths, legends and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess, named Amaterasu. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles.
Ōkami was one of the last few PlayStation 2 games selected for release prior to the release of the PlayStation 3. Although it suffered from poor sales, Okami earned high acclaim from reviewers and earned, among other awards, the title of IGN's 2006 Game of the Year.
In addition to distinctive gameplay and original content, it is the artwork that has inspired such acclaim from critics and gamers alike. Please take your time to explore the vibrant world of Okami and discover for yourself a truly unique, visually stunning and engaging experience.
