Hello, please help me to understand this issue.

Today I received a letter from the host.

We apply as a legal representative on the protection of intellectual property rights.

VIDEO CONTENT LIBRARY LIMITED owns intellectual property rights on the territory of Ukraine for the following audiovisual works:

Game of Thrones (2011-2019)
link to the site where the browser game Game of Thrones

And they provided Legal Documents: in the form of three PDFs.

It seems that they thought that the site had the series Game of Thrones (2011-2019), but there is only a browser-based game Game of Thrones. The site is a gaming site and there have never been any films, series, or excerpts from them. What does the letter Game of Thrones (2011-2019) have to do with the browser game Game of Thrones by Yoozoo Games? Therefore, I do not quite understand what exactly needs to be removed on the page.

Please give advice on how to be? In Google it turns out already banned. Apparently because of the complaint of the same Vindex company.

UPD
Apparently there was a problem in the video. There was some audio for 10 seconds. Deleted it for short.

Intellectual property rights may extend to audio or video works. Including images, photos, soundtracks, etc.
Also, a certain phrase (for example, "Game of Thrones") can be registered as a trademark and is also protected by law.
Based on this, check if your game uses elements of other people's audiovisual works or registered trademarks.
For more detailed information, it is better to contact the representative of the copyright holder.

It is not possible to give you advice without a thorough study of all documents of the Claim. You are still not a lawyer, as far as I understand, and for you the quote may seem important. But really, it's about nothing. After all, it is not clear what they refer to as a justification for their rights. And without understanding the scope of their rights, talking about the legitimacy of their Claims is like guessing on coffee grounds.
So: post it. Let's think, let's think. Then you can give advice.
