Naughty Bear, a sociopathic bear who lives on a island with a community of other bears who are not his greatest fans. The game is split over seven chapters, each with a different theme and storyline such as gatecrashing an uninvited party, ending a zombie invasion and ruining an election. Each chapter has five missions which vary on gameplay type. Naughty Bears aim is to put an end to the boss of each chapter by using any means necessary.

The real fun of the game comes from a pseudo-social engineering aspect; scaring, maiming and killing bears, seeing how they respond and how their friends respond. It is a wonderfully evil feeling of the purest schadenfreude when the cruel acts you have inflicted upon a fluffy, singled-off victim – such as burning their face on a barbecue, trapping their legs in bear traps and beating them senseless with golf clubs – forces them to limp away from you weakly, back to their base camp. It is a delight to see the reactions of their comrades from afar, seeing the widespread panic and fear that sweeps through their encampment, watching as they attempt to barricade themselves in a building, call for help or escape the area entirely. This is where the game excels, with a large, Shining-esque ‘Here’s Johnny’ style grin plastered across the face of the player at their most powerful, completely in control of those around them, a ruthless force of nature in a cartoon fantasy world.
