where is the "white souls"?
It is clear as The White Soul that you didn't enjoy nor played the game much.
Why bother giving pointless questions?
Better ask something meaningful, for example: "How dumb or insane you need to be in order to enjoy this abomination?".
And the answer will be: "Pretty much. Enough to enjoy even darker versions of known fairy tales and cosmic horrors, piled up together and peppered with hentai you won't enjoy at first, considering the world you are in. It is not for the faint hearted ones, as I always say.".
And if flipped assets is a problem to you, I fear you may go insane from the thought of how many equally looking trees, grass, buildings or cars you can find in the real world.
Oh well, expectations are meant to be broken I guess.
