Our take on Hector The Cat - Treasure Hunter
The treasure-hunting premise receives the headline treatment, but the listed structure centers on repeated combat runs, build choices, equipment purchases, and end-of-run rankings. Treasure collection is presented as the goal, while fighting and retrying receive more mechanical detail.
