Audience
Was this game written for: people who have read the books, people who have watched the tv show or neither?
I am just wondering because after playing the first episode I realized the reasons I made certain decisions was based on knowledge of the characters .
this is new for me because of the four tell tale games out, GOT is the only one I play with foreknowledge .

People who watch the show, otherwise it wouldn't make my much sense to use TV depictions of characters, when you could come up with your own.
The game is based off of the HBO show and uses the show's story as source material. I haven't watched Game of Thrones much (and I certainly need to change that!), but I do know that there are some differences between the show and the books - kind of like Walking Dead actually.
I'd say the main audience is the show's fanbase. Certainly no need to have read the books to understand, show should be enough.
Having background knowledge from the books or the show is not needed, and I personally haven't seen any indication that Telltale is catering to a certain type of audience. I haven't watched the show or read the books, and I perfectly enjoyed and understood the episode.
People who watch the show mostly.
