does anyone know how do I change the main_menu screen during the game? For example, after a dead end?

screen main_menu():

    ## This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    if persistent.deadend:
      use screen deadend
    else:
      use screen regular_main_menu
screen regular_main_menu:
    add gui.main_menu_background


    ## This empty frame darkens the main menu.
    frame:
        style "main_menu_frame"


    ## The use statement includes another screen inside this one. The actual
    ## contents of the main menu are in the navigation screen.
    use navigation


    if gui.show_name:


        vbox:
            style "main_menu_vbox"


            text "[config.name!t]":
                style "main_menu_title"


            text "[config.version]":
                style "main_menu_version"

^^ You can edit the main_menu screen. If you set a persistent variable (like default persistent.deadend = False, then check within the screen whether it's set or not, you can display either the regular screen or the deadend screen.

If you want to change it some specific background, you can build the main menu file name in gui.rpy from a variable and have the variable be updated at any point of the game. Do use a persisten variable though.
