Okami is set sometime in classical Japanese history, the game 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, who took the form of a white wolf.
The white wolf is the titular Okami, which was turned into a ceramic cell phone strap, and will be available via Capcom’s online store, and will come this October.
The game on the Wii features a distinct cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles. Players can bring the game to a pause and call up a canvas, where the player can draw onto the screen, using the Wii Remote
