Salty's Sunday Night is a Friday Night Funkin' Game Mod created by Tsuraran with the help of Maqua, advertised as a complete overhaul as it replaces all songs up to Week 6 with its own compositions, characters, and story.

At the end of Week 6 of the original game, Spirit mentions others like him, trapped in video games by Daddy Dearest forever and searching for ways to escape. This mod expands on what he was talking about, and it's not very hopeful at first.

Between 1980 and 2015, a derelict arcade cabinet owned by Daddy Dearest slowly began to accumulate victims by contracting the (reluctant) soul-manipulating monster known as Opheebop, stripping their memories and dumping them into a Lotus-Eater Machine. Life's alright, pleasant even, in the cabinet, but Opheebop can only do so much to provide for them without taking anything in return, and the cabinet's derelict nature means it can only be fully active every Sunday night. Not to mention, one of the victims seems to have gone missing trying to pierce through the veil...

Enter Salty, the most recent of the people abducted by the arcade cabinet. When his memories suddenly return to him one day, he decides to take his new crush and the first abductee that's seemingly still around, Itsumi, and fight his way out in the ways of the Friday Night Funkin' universe: by challenging the other inhabitants and eventually the system itself to a rap battle.

An officially-sanctioned Alternate Universe called Peppered is currently in development, which alters all of the character designs and replaces the songs once more with remixes and alternate compositions.

Additionally, SCP Saltmix is in development, another mod that features the SSN cast facing off against the SCP foundation and its detainees in remastered (or rather, “saltmixed”,) versions of several Friday Night Foundation songs.

Provides examples of:

  • Art Shift: Several crossover freeplay songs are drawn in the styles of the original works, such as South Park for the Mysterion song.

  • Big Brother Instinct: Why Connor is barricaded in Week 3; he thinks Salty is too crazy for his sister Itsumi and is thus trying to defend against him.
  • The Cameo: A simulation of Boyfriend and Girlfriend, with different hair and clothing colors, can be seen in the Manager's venue before Opheebop shows up.
  • Composite Character: Glitch is the mod's replacement for both Senpai AND Spirit.
  • Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: In contrast to the original game's Fearless Fool protagonists, Salty and Itsumi are genuinely fighting to liberate their and everyone else's souls from Daddy Dearest's clutches despite the comparable lack of danger.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Most of the weekly opponents of the mod deliberately contrast the corresponding opponents in the base game, fulfilling similar roles (parental figures, fighting a duo, et.c.) but with different personalities.
  • Deal with the Devil: Opheebop needs a human soul to shut off the machine and free its inhabitants. Her debut song of the same name has her proposing this to Salty (who writes it off as a joke), while "Freedom" has him realize she's actually serious. He accepts, though this isn't made clear until Week 7.
  • Gameplay and Story Integration:
    • Itsumi uses Girlfriend's unused vocals from the base game. Since the vocals have a decent amount of artifacting in them that make them sound digitized, Itsumi's outfit incorporates a voice modulator that she sings through.
    • The colors of the base game's notes are incorporated into some of the characters' singing: Itsumi's voice modulator, Connor's visor, Salty's afterimage in Week 4, and the reflection in his visor in Week 5 all change colors depending on what note they're hitting.
    • The sound for missing in the base game is a record scratch. During Week 5, Itsumi is managing a DJ's table instead of sitting on a speaker system, and missing has her cut out the record she's holding in time.
  • Hero of Another Story: The mod takes place parallel to the original game, with the protagonist leading his narrative through a plot thread alluded to by Spirit but never expanded on.
  • Living Shadow: Opheebop is a shadow in the shape of an overly-simplistic humanoid mass that continuously flickers in her idle and singing animations.
  • Older Than They Look: Connor, Itsumi, Ava, and Hunter are much older than their appearance would suggestnote  due to them being trapped in the Arcade Machine for a long time before Salty came in. In fact, had they not been trapped, they would be much older than Salty by the present day.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • Opheebop's form of rebellion against the scheme of keeping people trapped in the arcade: she essentially created a Lotus-Eater Machine providing for its inhabitants, only because it was the best she can do without intentionally harming them further.
    • Hunter and Ava were not captured due to slighting Daddy Dearest; rather, the arcade cabinet took them on its own to spare them from being killed or worse by unnamed assailants.
  • Replacement Goldfish: Opheebop created exaggerated likenesses of Itsumi's parents so the arcade machine's inhabitants (who are all children and teens) would continue to have proper parental figures while in captivity.
  • Twice Shy: Itsumi and Salty, who both like each other but are not in a relationship due to having trouble confessing.
  • Unperson: The arcade machine wipes any evidence that a captured person ever existed in the real world once they are taken.

Week 5 Salty

Salty's eye display on his visor in Week 5 turns into the note arrows he is singing.
