Are backrooms projects allowed on scratch?

I want to make a backrooms project but I’m not sure if its allowed bc the backrooms has some levels and entities and lore that are a bit too scary for younger audiences, but is it ok I made the project if I just make it level 0 (the one with the yellow wallpaper) and make the entities not too scary/graphic and it has a good ending

Just making sure, I’m just rly scared of getting banned

I think Level 0 backrooms should be fine. As long as the entities are not too scary/graphic, as you say, the project should be okay.

Jumpscares aren't allowed either, but I don't know if there are actually jumpscares in the original game.

Depends on how scary it is, but if you just be careful of this part of the Community Guidelines, you should be fine:

Level 0 should be fine, as it isn't graphic or anything alike so as long as there are no jumpscares or horror/anything graphic, otherwise you should be good to go!
For example, level -!- (Run For Your Life) would NOT be allowed as it is graphic and horrific
However Level 6999 (The Neon Pool rooms) should be good, as this is a safe level ^^
Hope this helps
Jump scares are actually also allowed. As long as it follows the Community Guidelines, it should be okay. This might also be useful is well:

The backrooms aren’t a game — they’re more of a creepypasta.
I also state that most backrooms levels should be fine as long as the entities they are not very scary, or the level has no entities at all; for example, the poolrooms.

Yes, that is true, but I just want to point out that even doing such a “very scary” level, as long as the section of that project is made less scary so that it follows Community Guidelines, it would be fine.

Even though the point of the backrooms is horror, it is fine to create a game based on it, not if it's too scary however…
