Glossary Entry: Interface screw
Definition
Interfaces are designed so that users can quickly and easily control their software, and games are no exception.
However, it's possible for games to deliberately use your interface against you. For example, a debuff may distort your screen or scramble your controls, making it difficult to control your character.
This is known as an interface screw, as it's screwing with your interface.
