Questions

Is Netflix Hector's story the game plot?

No. The 2005 game centers on Rosaly, Isaac and Hector's revenge. Netflix adapts Hector and Isaac into a different sequence of events.

Which collection includes it?

None of the four classic collections. See the acquisition section for original platforms or the separate PC product. A history page is not proof of a modern rerelease.
