Are somewhat dark/scary story elements allowed in Scratch games?

So I've been creating a concept for an RPG-style game with some darker story elements recently, and I was wondering if it is allowed under Scratch community policy. There's no sort of excessive violence or anything, but the concept involves a librarian who steals people's souls and traps them in books, and is trying to steal your (the player's) soul as well. It's not graphic at all, but since it may contain some jumpscares and the concept is dark enough that it might be a bit scary to younger scratchers, should I be worried about it being taken down if I share it? Thanks!

the concept shouldn’t be too bad, although be sure that the imagery isn’t too disturbing. additionally, jumpscares are disallowed.

Which elements are considered inappropriate according to the Scratch Community Guidelines?
Graphic Content: Depictions or audio that emulate weapons, gore, or violence.
Intense Themes: Serious or scary topics.
Vulgarity: Disrespectful or mature language.
Jumpscares: Startling images that abruptly flash on the screen.

Thank you! I'll make sure not to include any jumpscares then.
