- Persona Skills:
Your HA (Human Avatar) will have the ability to learn and grow, just like your pet. Persona skills will start based on the star sign you choose during registration, after selecting your Class—Lycan, Human, Elven, or Pixie. Each star sign comes with a base set of stats and determines which deity you encounter first. Persona skills range from Education, Culinary Arts, Smithing, Alchemy, and more. You’ll start as a novice in each skill; for example, in Alchemy, you’ll begin by learning basic potion recipes, such as mini health and mana potions for your pet. As you advance, you’ll unlock more powerful items to create. In Cooking, you might initially burn your dishes (luckily, the Abyssal Monster loves burnt food), but as your skill improves, you’ll unlock new recipes and gain the ability to create items useful in gameplay. Your persona also levels up in activities like fishing, gathering, bug collecting, gardening, and mining through your pet’s efforts. While your pet performs these tasks, your persona’s higher skill level will allow you to provide better equipment and knowledge, leading to better rewards.
- Cooking:
The Cooking feature will soon be added to Santae, where you can create a variety of dishes using ingredients collected from your adventures. Early on, you might burn a few dishes, but don’t worry—the Abyssal Monster has a taste for burnt food, so nothing goes to waste! As you experiment and improve, your culinary skills will grow, allowing you to create even more delicious and useful meals.
- Crafting:
Crafting is a persona skill where you learn and acquire recipes, improving your skill level through practice. This could involve simple tasks, like threading a needle in a small animated game, which helps you build your crafting skill. As you advance, you'll be able to create items such as Sewing Kits, which in turn allow you to produce cloth and other materials.
- Questline System:
The questline system offers a continuous and immersive experience where one quest leads to another. For example, you might start a quest that requires you to obtain a specific book. To get the book, you would need to complete a mini-game. Once you return the book, the quest giver rewards you with one of many possible items and introduces the next quest. This next quest could be another task from the same giver or a quest that directs you to another NPC. The questline system will play a significant role in the “Factions System,” providing an engaging journey.
- Factions:
Santae will feature five unique factions, each with its own set of quests, challenges, perks, and rewards. Progressing to the highest rank within a faction is designed to be a rewarding challenge, requiring dedication and effort. This involves completing a variety of quests, engaging in battles, and participating in games as you work through the faction's questlines. The factions offer a deep, long-term progression system that adds layers of strategy and achievement to your gameplay experience.
- Adventure Crew:
Team up with up to five friends in an Adventure Crew to boost your collective SanDust earnings when everyone checks in. The bonus rate scales based on your crew’s activity, ranging from 1.05x to 1.5x. To maintain crew stability and encourage ongoing participation, joining or leaving an Adventure Crew comes with a cooldown period, potentially 3-7 days. This ensures that groups of friends are more likely to stay together and motivate each other to play regularly.
- SanDust Boost:
Your crew can pool together resources and donate 10 million sP to activate a 1.5x SanDust bonus across the site for one hour. Similarly, crews can donate sP to increase quest payouts by 1.25x, though this will be carefully balanced to avoid inflation. These sP sinks are designed to be expensive but worthwhile, especially when all crew members are online and benefiting from the boosts.
- Exclusive Crew Perks:
Being part of a crew comes with additional rewards, such as claimable bonuses, a free elite pouch daily, and other unique perks that make participation more rewarding.
- Adventure Crew Multiplayer Battles:
Engage in multiplayer battles alongside your crew members, enhancing the cooperative experience and adding a layer of strategy to your gameplay.
- Visual Enhancements:
When gathering resources with your Adventure Crew, you'll be able to see your party members' pets alongside your own, adding a visual sense of teamwork as you all work together.
- Future Community Events:
Santae offers a dynamic Community Events feature, where players can engage in a variety of exciting activities that bring the community together. Existing events like discovering the Goopper Grotto, taming the Grusim, and participating in Minimal Herding with Silvershade have already captured the imaginations of players. These events not only offer unique challenges and rewards but also foster collaboration and friendly competition within the community. Looking ahead, joining an Adventure Crew will unlock even more thrilling events where crews can compete against each other, further strengthening bonds and adding a competitive edge to Santae.
- HTML5 Games:

Build and customize your own club, clan, or guild to create the perfect community space. With the ability to use HTML and CSS, you can design it to match your vision.

Located under the "Habitats" section of your user profile, the aquarium allows you to display your prized catches, interact with them, feed them, swap them out, and even upgrade and decorate your aquarium to reflect your unique style.
- Terrarium Feature:
Similar to the Aquarium, the Terrarium is designed to house the rare bugs you've captured. Display your insect collection with pride, interact with your bugs, and personalize the terrarium with decorations to create a space that's entirely your own.
- Minimal Habitats:
Depending on the type of minimal you own, you start with a basic habitat that can hold up to five minimals. These habitats are animated, allowing your minimals to move around and interact with you. You can feed them treats, play with them, and upgrade your habitat to accommodate more minimals or change the scenery to suit your preferences.
