7 months later they want a dollar for a GOG copy in a bundle with three other random games.
And in the meantime Dracula 5 aka "Dracula 4 Episode 2" came out, being apparently overall better but still stupidly short even combining the two, and not really offering a satisfying ending while being the conclusion to the series (was probably supposed to be a trilogy and cut short).
I guess the brilliant idea of disguising "episodes" as full games at full prices didn't work out too well.
Kinda bummed another all in all decent adventure series ends like this.
That's a shame (a really short game, and an end to a... trilogy?), as I really liked Dracula 4.

Well damn, Dracula 5 showed up on GOG today, bundled with 4. So everyone that had 4 on there already gets it for free. That $1 bundle sure turned out great.
Tis a shame; hopefully that'll be the end of episodic nonsense from Anuman/Microids, they seem to have been going through a weird phase of taking some of their older games, dumbing them down and re-releasing in parts for mobiles/casuals (like they did with Amerzone, Dracula 3 etc.)
By "trilogy" I meant Dracula 4+5+6, since, if I recall correctly, that was the initial plan. But after the apparently dreadful sales of 4, they squished the rest into 5 and called it a day.

Ah, that's where this came from. I was already wondering why I had this.

I've got a funny story about the first game, Dracula: Resurrection. I played it for a little while back in 2000 on a friend's computer. It was one of those games where redistributors (ahem, ahem) removed cutscenes in order to save space.
This was a game where every room was a static picture which you could rotate and all object interactions and dialogues were cutscenes.
Surprising myself, I think I managed to finish the first "chapter". I never remembered its name and forgot about it for the next decade, until I searched Google for "vampire adventure game circle inventory" or something similar.
