Check this bug report, it includes a workaround for the GOG build: Vampire.exe process keeps lingering.

Beware that loader.exe won’t hold your terminal until you quit the game, it returns immediately after starting the vampire.exe process. If this is something that could cause problems for you, ./play.it uses the following workaround:
# Keep hold of the terminal until the game process actually ends,
# instead of returning as soon as the game is started
sleep 10s
pidwait --euid "$USER" --ignore-case vampire.exe
(this is called right after the WINE command in the game launcher script)

Interesting, thanks.

I noticed that if I run the game from the terminal myself, not from a .desktop launcher I made for it, this bug doesn't happen. I guess the issue is somehow related to what the terminal provides since it's similar to your workaround.
