Petit Ferret (ぷちフェレット Puchi Feretto) was a Japanese company that developed the Popotan PC visual novels, as well as an expansion pack and an enhanced remake. The visual novel was later licensed to WellMADE for a PlayStation 2 port. Shaft later produced an anime television series with a radically different plotline than the visual novel, though the character relations were the same.

The player assumes the role of Chris, the protagonist of Popotan. The main characters include three sisters and their maid who live in a western-style mansion. Ai is the eldest of the three and has the ability to communicate with plants. Mai is the middle sister; she is a tomboy and disapproves of Chris's slacker behavior. Mii is the youngest and the most energetic; she often cosplays as "Magical Girl Mii" and helps people out. Their maid Mare appears emotionless at first, but reveals hidden depth later in the story.
Popotan takes place in the distant future within the remnants of Tokyo, destroyed by a cataclysm and since altered by geological transformations. The disaster was caused by a giant dandelion structure resembling a spire that arose in the city atop a hill. The main location of the game is a European-style mansion, seen as completely out-of-place in the city. Much of the daytime is spent outside the mansion wandering around town meeting characters and triggering event sequences.
