Unity scenes and their use for other game elements eg menu items, etc

Hi,

Is the purpose of a Unity scene meant to be solely for different game levels?
Or can they also be used to represent other parts of a game, eg start menu, opening a menu in game, etc.

Thanks

 

Whatever you want. I Just think of a scene as a collection of instances that I can load whenever I want. Use them for whatever you need.

Remember also that you can have multiple scenes loaded at the same time if you use additive scene loading.
