+	# To achieve this, the "Pause Mode" field is used on nodes in the Game scene:
+	# 1. The root node in the Game scene is set to process even when the game is paused
+	#   (via Pause Mode = Process), so this Game script keeps running in order to open/close
+	#   the Pause Menu when the player presses the "toggle_pause" action.
+	# 2. The Level scene has Pause Mode = Stop (and its child Player scene has Pause Mode = Inherit),
+	#   so the gameplay will stop.
+	# 3. The InterfaceLayer node has Pause Mode = Inherit, with its child PauseMenu scene having
+	#   Pause Mode = Process, so it will continue to process even when the game is paused.
+	# To see the Pause Mode of any node, select the node and you'll see "Pause Mode" near the bottom
+	# of the Inspector under "Node" fields.
