I am trying to find a way to pause the game the whole game. timeScale = 0f does not work in routines.

I have this script that stops the game on the escape key:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class BackToMainMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static bool gamepaused = false;

    private void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
        {
            gamepaused = true;
            Time.timeScale = 0f;
        }
    }
}

And a script with a routine:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.PostProcessing;

public class DepthOfField : MonoBehaviour
{
    public UnityEngine.GameObject player;
    public PostProcessingProfile postProcessingProfile;
    public bool dephOfFieldFinished = false;
    public LockSystem playerLockMode;

    private Animator playerAnimator;
    private float clipLength;
    private Coroutine depthOfFieldRoutineRef;

    void Start()
    {
        if (depthOfFieldRoutineRef != null)
        {
            StopCoroutine(depthOfFieldRoutineRef);
        }

        playerAnimator = player.GetComponent();

        AnimationClip() clips = playerAnimator.runtimeAnimatorController.animationClips;
        foreach (AnimationClip clip in clips)
        {
            clipLength = clip.length;
        }

        var depthOfField = postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings;
        depthOfField.focalLength = 300;
        StartCoroutine(changeValueOverTime(depthOfField.focalLength, 1, clipLength));
        postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings = depthOfField;
    }

    IEnumerator changeValueOverTime(float fromVal, float toVal, float duration)
    {
        while(BackToMainMenu.gamepaused)
        {
            yield return null;
        }

        playerLockMode.PlayerLockState(true, true);

        float counter = 0f;

        while (counter < duration)
        {
            var dof = postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings;

            if (Time.timeScale == 0)
                counter += Time.unscaledDeltaTime;
            else
                counter += Time.deltaTime;

            float val = Mathf.Lerp(fromVal, toVal, counter / duration);

            dof.focalLength = val;
            postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings = dof;

            yield return null;
        }

        playerAnimator.enabled = false;
        dephOfFieldFinished = true;
        depthOfFieldRoutineRef = null;
    }
}

But when I press the escape key, the freeze for a second or two, but then the blur effect in this script continues and then continues to run the game after this part of the script. It seems that TimeScale is not pausing the game at all, but only for a few seconds, if it does. Or pausing just a few things.

What I want is to pause the whole game. Maybe I should use a game state somehow? I don't want to disable / enable game objects in the hierarchy.

I checked it again now. For example, the player cannot move it with the keys, but I can turn the player looking around with the mouse while I am in pause mode. But other things are leisurely like other npc. I have stopped moving (without using animation). Then some things are leisurely but others are not.
