The problem isn't the menu line, but the line after the menu. Menu is a block, so everything inside the menu block needs to be indented:

Code: Select all

    menu:
        "Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal thoughts, self-harm, foul lauguage, bullying, " # caption for the menu choice block, needs to be indented!
        "I Agree" :
            "Loading Rebecca's Route" # this needs indenting as well, as it's part of the I agree block
        "I Disagree" :
            "Goodbye" #indent this too, because it's part of disagree block

Please consider reading the documentation for such questions. It is very easy to follow for your last two questions.

But, to be helpful:

Code: Select all

define audio.some_word = "myfile.wav"

label start:
    play music some_word
Use almost whatever you like in place of "some_word"
You can find more on playing music and other sound files, here:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/audio.html
Or take a look at the demo tutorial game included with Ren'Py

That's not affiliated with official Renpy, you'll have to talk to the creator of the program about it.

You can use a solid colour as an image and put it on the transient layer or something:

Code: Select all

image overlay blood = Solid("#ff0000aa") # hex colour 6 digits + alpha 2 digits

...

show overlay blood
Adjust the last 2 hex decimal digits (from 00 to ff) to change the opacity.

The bottom 2 errors, are from me trying to make a menu inside a menu. I did it once, and it worked. but ever since I did it again, it's giving me errors! Im trying to have multiple endings, 1 suicide, the rest, Living. And it will continue if you pick the living ones, but people say different things depending on what choices you choose. Il probably will be bashed about how dumb im being.

If you read the error message (quite often it tells you exactly what's wrong :D).

Let's break this one down:
Line is indented
It's saying you've indented the line menu:

but the preceding say statement statement does not expect a block
Your previous statement is a say statement. Say statement isn't a block, so what goes after it should not be indented. Blocks are code that has a block starting statement (e.g. menu:), and children statements that goes underneath - which are indented. Say statement isn't a block, so you don't indent what comes after it.

Please check this line's indentation.
Check your line's indentation (but make sure you check the children lines)
