What is "Illegal Character Path"?

22 Jan 2014, 19:58I published my first text adventure (game book mode) and when I went to go play it an error message showed up saying "illegal character path" what does that mean? And how can I fix the problem?

My suspicion is that you have an odd character somewhere, perhaps in the game title. But I won't know for sure without more info.
