Prior knowledge of the medium based on certain cultural expectations yes.
But it’s hardly the first or only game to do so. Hell Monkey Island 2 played with expectations that way too and that was released a year before.
It’s just that it was t until the early 90s that we really started to see games as a legit artfom generally.
