Ultimate Newcomer is coming soon. Interesting improvements for emulator users too. It's DonationWare like Enhanced Newcomer.

Features:

• 180+ characters you can interact with, each with his/her own portrait graphic
• 10+ people who may join you, to make a team of up to 6 members
• ...or try it on your own, in the extra challenging Solo game mode...
• 50+ different areas to explore, created with 30+ different graphic sets
• 100+ cutscenes/situational graphics in-game, that make you feel like you are there
• 180,000+ words of ingame text, mostly interactive conversations
• No random encounters
• Thousands of puzzles and situations to encounter and solve
• Complex, non-linear gameplay with multiple levels of endings
• Months or weeks of immersive gaming until you "complete" the game...
• ...but there will still be a thousand situations, resolutions and encounters you have not seen yet, and 2 more game modes to complete!
• Animated intro and outro sequences
• Game controls changed for more comfort for emulator users on PC/Mac keyboards
• VICE fully supported, extensively tested, no virtual floppy disk swapping, works like a native PC / Mac / Linux game
• Much faster disk I/O in the 1541 version, compared to classic or Enhanced Newcomer
• Less floppy disk swapping needed – optimized data layout, area sorting and duplication for all multiple floppy disk versions
• 1541 version: 11* floppy disk sides
• 1581 version: 3* DD floppy disks
• CMD FD2000 version: 2* HD floppy disks
• CMD FD4000 version: a single ED floppy disk – zero disk swapping
• IDE64 version: 2 MB installed, "instant I/O", playing from HDD / CD / DVD / CF / remote filesystem (ethernet, USB, or User Port PCLink, via ideserv – IDE DOS v0.91 or newer required for this feature) supported, different data and save devices supported
• PAL and NTSC Commodore 64/64C/128/128D/128DCr systems auto-detected and supported
• 6581 and 8580 SID chips auto-detected and supported
• C128 2MHz CPU mode auto-detected and supported – much faster unpacking for all storage devices
• SuperCPU 20MHz mode auto-detected and supported – instant unpacking for all storage devices

20 years in the making, there has never been anything comparable for the C64.
