VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Pineapple Express [v1.0] [Dimajio333]

Pineapple Express [v1.0]

The story starts simple enough and very quickly turns into a constant "walking on eggshells" experience. We lend our girlfriend Julia to the MC’s so-called "best friend," Cornell, so he doesn’t embarrass himself in front of his mother. Why? Because the guy lied to her about finally getting his life together - claiming he has a stable relationship and a real job - just to keep receiving allowance. So we’re not only helping this slippery bastard out of his mess, we’re basically handing him the perfect opportunity to introduce our sexually frustrated girlfriend to new… appetites. And he succeeds pretty well, considering "he" is bigger, more passionate and lasts longer. So much for "best friend."

It’s up to us to make the right choices so none of that happens - or to let it happen, depending on what we want to explore.

Besides the vanilla route, there are cheating, sharing, and netorase routes, some of which dip slightly into netorare at times.

I really enjoyed exploring all of these paths. Depending on your decisions, new erotic visuals and dialogue variations can open up. Most of the time, you can return to the vanilla route… unless you enter the cheating path. Once you go down that one, there’s no coming back. But even there, the MC seems to secretly enjoy what’s happening. The branching is impressively handled, even if most deviations remain short detours from the primarily linear plot. On certain paths, however, some dialogue doesn’t accurately reflect what happened in your route, which can break immersion a little.

In the end, I was a bit disappointed that the story never takes the final step into full, uncompromising NTR with all its bitter consequences, denying me that emotional downward spiral of fear, jealousy, humiliation, and helplessness, ending in a relationship beyond reparation.

If you’re into netorase dynamics, though, you’ll get exactly what you’re looking for here.

Julia’s model is an absolute stunner, and I’m truly excited to see her again in Pineapple Express 2. Visually, the VN gives me everything I want. The graphics may not be cutting-edge anymore, but they’re still very good - especially the detailed skin textures, which stood out the most.

The VN unfortunately only uses a single soundtrack. It’s good, but when it loops endlessly, it gets old pretty fast. I definitely would’ve preferred more variety.

I’m also looking forward to trying the dev’s other works - from what I’ve read, they follow a similar pattern. All in all, I had a genuinely great time with this VN. For me, it’s a solid 5-star experience.

Came here after exploring the big apple and unfortunately this one had no female perspective. I am not a ntr person. netori is more of my thing. And Corruption from female perspective also my thing. Unfortunately this one had none of it. Also the setup was better in the apple.
I'm glad this wasn't my first Dimajio game. Otherwise I would have skipped Emma's story.

One of the best shared route games I’ve ever played! Pineapple Express delivers love, sharing, BBC and unforgettable moments. Huge thanks to the devs, this gem truly shines. Fingers crossed for PE2, can’t wait to see where the story goes next!

The exciting and coherent long-term plot is really great. I haven't felt so satisfied in a long time. Not only is the story good, but the program is also responsive, unlike some other games that lag. In addition, the background music is good. Although it is played in a loop, it does not feel repetitive at all and you can play it from beginning to end.

You know when you jump into a game expecting something simple, and it ends up completely blowing you away? That’s exactly what happened with Pineapple Express. On paper, the setup sounds absurd, pretend your girlfriend is your best friend’s fiancée so he doesn’t lose his allowance? Seriously? But once you’re in it, that ridiculous premise becomes magnetic. The whole thing feels like holding a live grenade while someone whispers “good luck.” And the crazy part? It works. Suddenly you’re clutching this fragile little codeword, “Pineapple Express”, like it’s the only thing keeping your relationship from falling apart. It’s silly, it’s stressful, and it’s genius.

I went in expecting a standard visual novel. What I got was something else entirely. The writing actually makes you feel the weight of each decision. This isn’t one of those fake-choice VNs where every road ends up the same. Here, routes actually branch, vanilla, cheating, cuck, sharing, and each has its own vibe. The slow-burn pacing is deliberate, but it works. Every payoff feels earned, and the tension lingers because the game makes you live in those choices. My favorite part? Even on the wilder routes, the relationship doesn’t just vanish. The MC and Julia often still feel like a team, which makes the risky stuff hit harder emotionally. That balance between messy heat and genuine tenderness is rare in this genre, but it’s handled with surprising care.

What really hooked me, though, were the characters. Julia (the girlfriend) feels real, sweet, flirty, and responsive to your choices. Depending on your choices, she can stay heartbreakingly loyal or slide into corruption, but either way, she feels real. She’s the emotional core that keeps everything grounded. Cornell, the best friend, can come off a little too smooth, but he’s layered enough that he never turns into some cartoon villain. Even the hidden-camera subplot works, it adds just the right amount of paranoia and voyeurism without cheapening the story.

Visually, it looks good too. The renders won’t blow your mind, but they’re polished enough to keep immersion, and little details, like Julia’s freckles, add a nice layer of realism.

And here’s the kicker: this is one of the rare games in the genre where a “sharing” route can still feel like a happy ending. Even when things get messy, the bond between the MC and Julia often stays strong and unexpectedly tender. That balance is what sets Pineapple Express apart, it proves that you can explore wild territory without completely erasing the heart of the relationship.

If you’re into NTR, hotwife, or swinger vibes, this is easily one of the most thoughtful, well-constructed takes I’ve seen. The game dares you to push limits, then forces you to sit with the consequences, and that’s exactly what makes it so addictive. Risky, messy, and unexpectedly heartfelt, it somehow pulls off all three at once.

By the end, what you get is a story that’s not just about shock value, but about testing trust and intimacy in unconventional ways. You can actually land on a happy ending that feels both wild and genuinely loving, which is rare for this type of game. Overall, Pineapple Express is daring, clever, and surprisingly tender, and honestly, that’s why I loved it.

It was a hot game although it is more Netorase oriented, a story about a dude that discovers he enjoys being a cuck, there were some hot scenes and a few "soft" NTR scenes (avoidable). Recomended for those who enjoy sharing. I'd give it a 7.5/10. It's worth checking out.

This is one of a small number of Ren'Py netorase games that have been completed, and it's a good one. I really like the concept.

** The rest of my review will contains spoilers about the plot**

It's optional netorase. If you opt out, it becomes mild NTR. Even though you (the MC) still have fantasies of sharing your girlfriend, you don't tell anyone about them. The MC's friend says he won't do anything with your girlfriend without your permission, but that's not strictly true. He goes over the line a few times.

The only purpose of the friend's sister (if you opt out of her route) is to cock block you by pushing your girlfriend towards her brother for her own amusement. Opting out of the netorase doesn't mean there's a vanilla route.

Many rate this Dimajio game highest, so I thought I’d see why – for some reason I’d played all but this one.

I know that English is not the writer’s first language, but this particular game seems to have an added language problem – many of the characters seem to speak with some degree of street slang or bad AAVE which is often somewhat cringe. Not the end of the world but occasionally an eye-roll. Like, this is meant to be a rich family but they talk like a black family from a dodgy cop show in the 90s. Fortunately I feel like this drops our more later in the game.

The art is fine – sometimes the characters seem quite attractive, at other times things are a little off about them. As others have mentioned, why does Cornell look about 30 years older than he should? Doesn’t move the dial much for me either way. Unfortunately it is a bit difficult to read the texts on phones at a few points, low res.

I’d say it is also a bit bloated. The build up is very slow and filled with some repetition, like multiple party game scenarios, and unnecessary episodes, like the trip to the office.

The main part of the game involves navigating the fake relationship between your girlfriend and your friend, and repeatedly choosing to give things the go-ahead or not. This accumulated corruption points. However, I think the system doesn’t work well if you go for a mixed approach – quite often the girlfriend says things to you that don’t make sense. I think some of her dialogue is based more on the corruption points than what decisions have actually been made. This was very apparent in my first playthrough in which I gave Julia and Cornell the go-ahead to kiss and such to keep up appearances, but blocked consummation. Julia often acted like I had confessed an interest in sharing to her, and a couple of times referred to me seeing her do things with Cornell that she hadn’t done. So bit unsatisfying there. I think full deny and full approve paths are consistent but it can’t take mix into account.

With that said, the sharing/cucking routes are hot, if not very different – not much stylistic difference in wife’s behaviour till near the end. I think it is some solid vanilla hotwife stuff.

Ultimately I don’t think this is clearly the best Dimajio game. If anything, I think it’s a bit messier than some of the others, even if they mostly all follow the same formula. I think maybe for some people who like this one best it is because they fetishise black people. I’m ambivalent.

Short summary of the story, you stay at your best friend Cornel's house while your girlfriend Julia pretends to be his fiancée so his rich mom doesn't cut his allowance for being single

One of the better NTR games I've played, I love that the game gives you a choice of what kind of NTR you want. I believe there is a cheating path, a swinging path, a cuckold path and a vanilla path.

I chose the cuckold path as was my preference, and it spends the first half of the game building up your girlfriend's receptiveness to doing sexual acts with Cornell, a charismatic big black dude who's the MC's best friend, the second half is where most of the "action" is, the scenes are decent in quality, if NTR of any type and BBC interacial interests you I recommend this game and to check out the Dev's other stuff.

A very solid NTR/Corruption game.

As with most NTR games these days the characters show little to now self control, this game tries to make some sense by adding self control.

A lot of games of NTR genre soon becomes a ahegao faced BBC addict fest, this is a little more meaningful. The story isn't too deep or emotional as it has to be to get the characters to engage in depravity.

The choices are decently impactful and the characters are good enough. The art and models are fine but not ground-breaking.

Overall a solid 4.5 / 5.

Just tried the game, because I was extremely curious why there's so much hype around it compared to the dev's previous projects. But as an NTR porn game, to put it mildly, was mega boring...... Actually the whole game has literally one single theme: Whether your wife will have sex with Cornell in the end or not. Is it disappointing? I understand. But the creativity and the "authentic NTR" are not this game's main strengths. But to get to the point, the sex scenes are unimaginative, while the cheating seems more like a story-filler as I hardly saw any corruption buildup. In fact, the NTR was everything just not thrilling. But yeah, if you're here for the BBC you've probably found your place as the game has a bit of a BNWO aura. This probably solved the mystery what makes this game so popular. It seems like if there's interracial porn, then the story can already be just secondary.

Overall the game was simply too anemic and boring to work as an NTR scenario. If you are among those who has some expectations for this genre, then forget such feelings here like blueball or any kind of thrill. You won't experience them. But as I recently read, the game will have a sequel, so it seems this ridiculous mess will still continue for a while.

This is the best NTR game i've ever played, and i played 100+ NTR, so Pineapple Express has the corruption, the emotions, the scenarium, the camera inside the room, everything that a good NTR needs, very good story and i really recommend.

beautiful, just beautiful. one of the few games with a good non ntr route. Julia is a pretty good gf to our mc too. hell, she wouldn't even be in the mess if our mc wasnt tryiing to help cornelius. fuck forced ntr route authors. this author and the game both rock for keeping the ntr optional.

Decent.

The only downside is I think it was very clear to me that Cornel wanted to bang Julia from the beginning. It's bad because Cornel isn't really a good friend, and the fact that Mc and Julia don't realize that makes the story less realistic.

A great game where you can make the choice of how much of a netorare cuckold you are. If it gets to much you can 'panic' hitting a key and it will back track the game to before you started making the choice that lead down the path you couldn't handle. I enjoy the setting and how it all played out. It is interesting because the MC pushes her down the route of him being a cuck but then freaks out when it actually happens. I love it.

After the excellent Sharing My Fiance and the perfect Make Me Happy novel, this game didn't really have much of an impact on me. It's quite obvious by now that the developer is characterized by an unique style and expression that he simply cannot change or innovate.. Even if we didn't know what kind of game we were playing, we could deinitelly tell from the first three sentences that this was a Dimajio novel.
The first thing you might notice is that the MC's personality has changed practically nothing compared to his previous games.. It's like we're following the same man, just in a different relationship.

The story... Well.. a typical lend me your girlfriend please, so I can impress my friends. Nothing that an average guy wouldn't think of. Obviously it's not hard to guess that the whole point was that the acting gradually turns into emotions, where Cornell and our girlfriend are getting closer and closer..
But then, when I first thought about quitting the game, the hidden camera came along. The only factor that could have made this game a little more interesting. But no. It's Cornell is the one who gives you it, so you can monitor what's going on in his room between him and your girlfriend.
But then I ask.. The point of a hidden camera shouldn't be that only we know about it??

The NTR was mostly consensual, so decide for yourself if it's interesting for you or not.
Our girlfriend's personality was also something of a mystery. She was more of an android, whose corruption level and her feelings for Cornell practically depended on our nod.

The end of the story, when Cornell's family went home, was more of a torture that the developer probably just spontaneously and hastily came up with to finally end the novel. But even if I look at the game as a whole, I honestly don't remember a single sex/sharing scene that affected, or turned me on.
I think this game is heavily overrated and mostly praised by the BBC lovers.. I'm definitely not one of them as I mostly try to avoid this kink as far as possible. But I can tell for sure, it wasn't mainly the heavy interracial content the reason, that I didn't enjoy this game.

3 stars. Becase I loved the dev's previous games.

The dev knows what people in the genre want! Would recommend not just this but all their games! The story is simple but hot, characters are good, progression keeps you edge without jumping into the deep end. Overall, an excellent experience if you know what you are getting into.

This is a tough one to rate I couldn't decide between 4 or 5 starts. Ultimately a few things held me back.

The Branching in this is really good one of the best within the NTR genre. There is a faithful / vanilla path , cuckhold , cheating and sharing path and all of those have some sub path choices and differences depending on a choice here and there. Tho mostly just dialogue change.

For me if I had to rank the paths it would be Sharing as the best followed by , cuck , cheating, vanilla .

The premise of the story is a little silly to be honest. But also because of the silly premises it gives plenty of context to allow for some hot spying scenes especially when on the cuck / sharing paths. Originally I did not like the idea but found myself can't wait for more of those spying scenes through the recordings.

The Girlfriend is a fantastic character she is a loving girlfriend and also kind of a cheating bitch at the same time depending on the path. Depending on how far you take the cheating path she can cheat for some rather silly assumptions without talking to the player. Which was something I did not like

Also on the cuck path she kind of pissed me off because of how she changes into a controlling LI that is borderline being a femdom at the end. Not to mention at the end she gets revenge for the spying which I did not like especially cause it was the best friends idea.

Also while it does show the Girlfriend and MC having a good relationship. It doesn't show this part enough and feels like they needed to have some more conversation in between before some of the serious stuff happens. Because things do escalate rather quickly without any real conversations until after the fact. Which is fine cause you have to make certain choices for it to get to that point but would of loved for them to have more serious conversations before getting to that point.

The best friend is a decent character most of the time. But I wish the girlfriend would of had some scenes to show she is falling for him or liking him more than heat of the moment thing. Because it feels like there is some real romance and chemistry between them and not just using one another for sex. But it is never shown other the best friend being romantic towards her.

The endings were mostly fine but also felt like it could of used a bit more to feel like a ending as it almost feels like the ending comes on rather quickly after the 2 weeks. Would of been nice to have one more hangout with the best friend and a real conclusion instead of ending , showing him for sex scenes. As never felt like the MC has a real conversation with him for most of the game. So I would of liked to have a talk about the relationship with him and his girlfriend and air everything out and happened depending on your choices.

This also can be a bit off putting for some but the MC does not last long in bed. Which is another reason makes the sharing and cuck path the superior ones.

Overall a top tier NTR game with a real loveable LI depending on the path. Just a few small things that felt like the game was missing that prevented me from giving 5 starts instead of 4

Very good game. Nice graphics, lovely protagonist, not the most beautiful, but really good looking. Descent animations. Good story and actual good amount of impactful choices. It is an overall well done game. Everything, as far as I've played is optional, which is really important in my opinion. If you like its genre I recommend it.
