Hyena is an Audio Gamebook player for multiple platforms.
Inspired by the AudioBooks, Hyena allows game-books to be played with only sound and just
one button. This makes it possible to play games without looking at the screen and while your
body is occupied with other things, like driving or out running (or while sitting in class J).
