A couple of quotes from the press release:

"{Naughty Bear} is sure to become a favorite guilty indulgence as players take on the classic role of a wolf in sheep's clothing," said David Osborne, creative director at Artificial Mind and Movement.

"Players tired of the same old shoot-‘em-up, recycled gameplay are going to get what's coming to them in {Naughty Bear}," said Adam Kline, president, 505 Games U.S. "The all-new scare-based points system introduces a whole new element of fun in {Naughty Bear} as players win the most rewards for being deviant and maniacal."

Sounds a bit like "Pedo Bear: The Video Game" to me...
