The art doesn't help; it's clean. I couldn't make out any gore, or see one skull or corpse decorating a wall or gate. The cloths on the woman Commissar look like she just picked them up from the laundromat. There are THREE, count 'em, THREE whole splats of blood (and the one on the left might not even be blood).
If by "grim" they mean "sanitized" and by "darkness" they mean "no LED lights", then maybe.
