Hope I'm putting this in the right place - seems ppl are talking about pet sites an looking for alternatives to neopets.

If you'd like to try out a new pet site, feel free to join me in the world of Santae!
Santae opened in May 2024 and is now currently accepting more beta testers.
You can view the current pet species and colors here (no account or log in needed): Santae

No pressure to join, and no pressure to stay if you do join, but I'd love for you to give it a try. Despite its beta testing phase, the site is quite well done so far and has so much to see and do! You can expect great communication, transparency, and multiple ways to obtain hard-to-get high demand items and pets.

You can use my referral code below to create your account.

BETA IS NOW OPEN!!!!

It’s great to see that their referral system has been released!



What are some of your favorite features on Santae? I’ve been an alpha tester for quite some time, so it’s been nice to watch the game progress!
 
I love the frequent events, i love hoarding items for the events, because they make sure that you will use almost all features on the site for the events 🤣, i love gift-criming peeps (we send items to random ppl and call it a crime!), i love collecting items for my pets and my collections, and most of all, i love reading the stories that they write for the events. its gorgeous!

just also want to mention - for anyone who joins on my referal link - i send special gifts and rare items to get you going 😎
 
I appreciate you for sharing with us this pet site. To get an idea of what’s out there and to be able to contribute to a site that is currently looking for beta testers is always a treat. I will for sure visit the site and I do hop to enjoy the whole concept of Santae.
 
Its good to see so many peeps! everyone is loved in the community! feel free to pop in, and join the discord too. you will be well surprised by just how generous we are!

I always like to explore the new pet sites because they always capture my interest consistently and based on the information provided, this particular platform has impressed me. The ongoing beta testing phase provides an opportunity to support Santae development.
I have been looking for a suitable Neopets replacement but Santae could potentially become the perfect option. I do hope it is!
 
will be great to see you there! just remember to verify your email as well pls. 😎 sending you some goodies and love

Thanks for the gifts. I like Santae it's a good site. I'm looking forward to future updates. I hope a training system to level up my pets is added soon. I also noticed there is a bug when trying to transfer items to my collection. It doesn't work for plant collections, and a few others.
 
what bug? what are you trying to do? i've not had any issued adding items to my collections.
 
i dont see a pet selected in the dropdown list. make sure to have a pet selected.
 
Hehe... yea, they were bit busy 😅 glad you managed! Pls remember to verify your email🩷

Have you started playing it? The economy is kind of easy to make points on, especially if you do a couple of their quests everyday. It's not too hard to make points. Their economy is in good shape.

There are also some items that have high resale value if you're able to obtain them.
 
Santae is planning to launch into open beta relatively soon.

We officially launched Alpha Testing on May 12, 2024, moved into Beta Testing on October 5, 2024, and are thrilled to welcome everyone with Open Beta starting March 31, 2025.

Why We Created Santae




2Ga1HutivUvm44jKYn6nTL5he3g8KcIprWbB4ztZ.png


Santae was born from our shared love of story-driven games, pixel pets, and tight-knit communities. We grew up with these worlds, but we knew they could be more. We envisioned a platform that:

  • Reimagines classic pet site features with modern mechanics,
  • Offers RPG depth, worldbuilding, and exploration,
  • And most importantly, fosters kindness, inclusion, and creativity.

We believe in building something that feels alive—with deep lore, immersive mechanics, and player-driven evolution. Our upcoming expansion, Mystic Adventure, is just the beginning of what’s possible.
