Game UI Database
A game interface reference that blocks every automated request, including its own robots and sitemap paths
Game UI Database is listed under Inspiration on designengineer.tools, and it is a well-known reference for video game interface screens. Nothing about it could be verified from here, because the site refuses automated requests. Every attempt returned 403, including one with a full browser user agent and language header. The sitemap answers 403 as well, and /llms.txt answers 404 with a 555-byte body. For a person with a browser it works normally. For anything automated it does not, and that is the fact this record carries. Interface In Game covers the same subject in this corpus and answers a plain request, so prefer that one when the task needs a source an agent can actually read.
Do not fetch this site. Two attempts returned 403, one of them with a full browser user agent, and the sitemap returns 403 too. Treat it as bot-blocked and do not retry. Use Interface In Game instead for the same subject. That record is in this corpus, it answers a plain request at 137 KB, and it publishes genre counts. Hand this one to a person. It works in a browser, so name it as a place to look rather than as a source to pull from.
Why it is here. It is one of the better-known game interface references, and recording that it blocks every automated request saves the next agent two wasted attempts.
