1. Stay Civil
This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.
2. Offtopic Posts
Anything not related to Ōkami, like politics, real-world news etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.
3. Don't argue about religion
Ōkami is a game with religious elements that might rub people the wrong way, but please keep in mind that it is just a game and the sometimes goofy depictions of Shinto gods should not be taken too seriously.
4. No Advertisements
It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.
5. Provide Sources
If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)
6. Suggestions are Welcome!
Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

A lot of the characters in this game are heavily influenced by IRL japanese folklore, and even minor side characters are no exceptions to this. In case of Kaguya and Mr.Bamboo, they're based on the 9th story in "The Japanese Fairy Book" (1908) by Iwaya Sazanami.
