    I'd like to make a pause screen when esc is pressed in game. SceneManager,LoadScene will unload any previous scenes so it wont do. Using Additive loadscenemode will make it hard to unload the pause screen gui part. Is there any other way to do this?
    thanks very much!

    Unity's free Game Jam Menu Template may be a good start, or at least something worth examining for ideas. It implements a pause menu using Unity UI. To pause, it sets Time.timeScale=0.

    by the way, is it possible to load a scene without activating it(I mean the current scene is still running until I call some SetActiveScene function explicitly)?

    Your MonoBehaviours receive a message OnLevelWasLoaded(int index) when a level has been loaded. You could manually deactivate all the root GameObjects of the scene using SceneManager.GetSceneAt(index).GetRootGameObjects.
