    Is it possible to use Time.timescale to pause the game but still have a timer? I need to do a Continue screen when the game ends that counts down from 10. Setting Time.timeScale to 0 is stopping the continue timer.

    You can use Time.unscaledDeltaTime which isn't affected by time scale. Worth taking a look at the docs.
