Okami HD follows Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess in the form of a white wolf, as she sets out to defeat Orochi. The eight-headed demon has turned Nippon into a ruined wasteland, giving the adventure a mythic struggle at the heart of its premise.
Its defining visual identity is a renowned Sumi-e ink art style, presented in high resolution. Players can choose between a modern widescreen format and the original release’s 4:3 ratio, letting them select how the artwork fills the screen. Interactive loading screens from the original game are included as well.
The contrast between a legendary wolf protagonist and ink-inspired imagery gives Okami HD a distinctive place among fantasy adventures. Its framing draws on Japanese mythology, while the presentation combines updated resolution with a choice of screen formats. The included interactive loading screens also preserve a recognizable element of the original release.
