Background
COO is a free web browser game described as a "bird GTA simulator" where the player controls a robotic pigeon. The game is set in a 3D model of Toronto designed as a living comic book featuring bold ink lines, pastel cel shading, and halftone dots.
The project was developed by Yegor Sak over seven days using up to 10 parallel AI workstreams, including 35,218 Claude model calls and 41,495 tool calls. It consists of approximately 165,000 lines of JavaScript and was built without a game engine.

Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. The game's release, its claimed map size, and the developer's request for local feedback are all reported solely by dexerto.com with no primary-source confirmation. No independent verification of the map's scale or the game's availability has been documented. The developer is still awaiting input from Toronto residents to refine the simulation's realism, per the same outlet.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
What happens next
Yegor Sak is awaiting feedback from Toronto residents to improve the realism of the map, according to dexerto.com.
