Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is an adventure RPG game developed by Ninja
Theories that is self described as an “independent AAA game”. The studio
decided to do something that had never been attempted before for a 3

one camera to work with and they wanted the players to feel like an "an
observer, like a presence watching Senua throughout"
The only other game to have utilised such a technique completely is God of
War (2018), which wanted to give players smooth and seamless experience
with less hassles.
