Lore (not discussed in the game):
S.A.N.T.A is actually an acronym for Silent Annual Named Transport Agency, you, one of their agents, must deliver all of the presents to different Christmas Trees without being seen by the residents.
Gameplay Overview:
- As you walk your footsteps create a ping that can wake up sleeping residents who will investigate the source of the sound, the size and regularity of the pings are dependent on the speed at which you are moving.
- Residents increase in 'concern' as they detect you more, which increases the speed at which they move.
- Your footstep can cause already away residents to turn to face you.
- Residents cannot see in the dark and, thus, can only spot you if they are holding a torch.
- Residents walking create smaller sound pings that can wake up others.
- The game ends when there are either no presents left to deliver or the player is in torch light from a resident.
