BlackRose .hackey Render

The BlackRose image found in .hackey Vol.1 (right) features a more advanced render compared to the version on the left, which was featured more commonly in marketing materials and art books.

Post-Release

BlackRose's character portrait features incorrect colors for her Wave tattoos, which are shown as pink instead of yellow. Her skintone is also less saturated. One promotional image shows her with yellow tattoos to match her in-game model. This was the only appearance of the corrected illustration. All in-game assets and merchandise use the version with pink tattoos.
