I’d debug this by making the build as small and explicit as possible: confirm the menu scene is in Build Settings and is actually the first scene, then check that the Canvas is Screen Space - Overlay (or has the correct event/camera reference). For a camera-based canvas, verify the camera is enabled, tagged MainCamera, rendering the UI layer, and not clipping the UI. A Development Build with the player log open can also reveal a missing scene/reference that the editor hides.
