Coming from Trogen, Michel Kaufmann’s house is on the main road in Wald. It is easy to miss, because with the matt beige color it is not noticeable. Michel Kaufmann is waiting at the door. The entrance looks a bit narrow, but the ground floor is larger than it looks from the outside. In the right corner of the room you can spot a high-backed chair, a classic chair for gamers because they sit for a long time. That’s where the action takes place. As soon as you step into the small computer room, you notice that this is not the classic cave that you imagine a gamer to be. There is a closet on the wall filled with folders. There are souvenirs on the left side of the room. It looks like an ordinary office.
