In the basement, a hundred computer screens are aligned in a gigantic room.
On one of them, 16-year-old Mallory is snapped up by
Trackmania
, a car racing game.
And his feeling about the place is "in two words: extremely magnificent".
This futuristic setting plunges him into his first gamer memories.
"I was rocked by my parents, who played a
lot of
video games as a child, like
Zelda
. Lots of very well-known games and I fit in there too."
If success is there, Robin Leproux and his partner, co-founders of Espot, hope to export the model to other European capitals.
