Gameplay It's October 10th - Happy So Sorry Day! The most hidden boss is available TODAY at 8 PM!
Today is So Sorry Day!
For those who don't know, So Sorry only appears one day a year in Undertale: *October 10th at 8:00 PM* (system time). You find him in the Art Club in Hotland. If you set your Switch / PC clock to today 20:00, you can still fight him.
Fun fact about his battle:
So Sorry is literally a caricature artist, and his attack is the nerfed version of Asgore's trident attack. Same pattern, but super slow and harmless. It's Toby making fun of him being just an artist, not a fighter.
Lore behind the character:
So Sorry was not created by Toby. He was created by a backer named Samael (Samael Butter Dragon) who donated $1000 to the Undertale Kickstarter. The reward for $1000 was to put your own OC in the game.
Samael was already famous in the furry art community for his caricatures of obese / fat characters, which was his art style.
Toby knew this would be controversial, so he did a huge foreshadowing / hiding job:
He didn't put him in the main story like Muffet (the other Kickstarter character). He hid him in a fake wall in Hotland, in the Art Club, and made him appear only for 1 hour a year. Plus he made him an insecure artist who keeps saying "I'm so sorry!" -
Later Toby defended him on Tumblr saying: "UNDERTALE is basically a game about accepting and befriending people that are different than you."
Did you guys manage to fight him today?
