I'm not sure whether this should be here or in "Unidentified media", so feel free to move it if it doesn't belong. This is my first time posting here, so please bear with me.
There exist two YouTube videos depicting gameplay of the demo of a PS2 game titled "Okami". The only known footage of it comes from the user LightJak. Here are the videos in question:
Ever since I found those videos, I've been researching information about this particular demo and if it's even surfaced anywhere on the internet. LightJak seems to have no any other known social media accounts, and since their YouTube account has been abandoned for over 10 years now, I figured it would be impossible to contact them.
Here's what I was able to find about the demo:

Here's what I was able to find about the demo:
- It's not an Official Playstation Magazine demo. OPM demo is dated February 2007, while LightJak's video dates July 2006.
- Character "Mushi" has a different icon, which is present in the Wii manual of the game, as evident on this sloppily-made screenshot:
- Compass, which isn't present in the final version. Also, Issun has different icon. Both look very similar to the TGS 2005 trailer footage:
- Some pre-release footage was shown on IGN, but there are a few differences: there's no timer in LightJak's video and their game is in English. But the most peculiar one is the IGN watermark in the bottom-right corner. It's not present in LightJak's videos, indicating that their footage is original and not a reupload from IGN's website, combined with fact that description of one of the videos reads "Here is me playing the Okami demo!".
So far, this is all the information I was able to gather. I don't know if it should even be considered "lost". Any input would be highly appreciated.
