No, of course it doesn't mean a game
is in a certain genre. But it probably means people will
assume that unless it's specified otherwise. And for valid reason. I agree, Daemonica is a welcome change for being different. But that's why it's important to make it clear that it's NOT like the various games that came before it. This is exactly the sort of game I expect some people will stumble over a year from now and say, "oh, I didn't know it was an adventure!"
