I tried it as a mix and as a pure bad girl... The story changes a lot, and I mean a lot, as time progresses, based on earlier choices... Alas, the game is not a pure free choice game, even though it offers tons of choices that do effect later content/choice availability... There are story elements that exist no matter what, but believe me, choices do change things... After you go through the whole thing several times, trying various combinations, you'll notice just how complicated the story track for this game is...I'll shamelessly add a reply to my own thread

I've seen this game mentioned so many times, but haven't played it, because the main guy (Jack) looks like a douche. That's a reason, right? People keep saying that the writing is really good. So I tried it and chose to go for the good girl route. Boy, was that a mistake. I kept getting railroaded into meeting people that I didn't like, Jack and Jessica. Oh, I need to train, I'll go to the gym that that douche let's me train in for free and hope I'll avoid meeting him. Instead I meet a girl, Jasmin, that I reject and she goes ballistic on me. Let's go to town with my girl Eva, and of course we meet Jack. Fuck. Later, I run into Jessica, can't get away from having a makeover and when it comes time to choose a profile name for an Instagram profile, my character chooses Foxxy, because that Jasmin lady I didn't like suggested it. Couldn't take it anymore :-/ Also, game was depressing as fuck. Might try it some day when I'm in the mood for bad girl Ashley.
In any case, I feel your frustration... I've tried other games that offer themselves up as Open World and/or Freedom of Choice... But, it is rarely 100% true... Nowadays, creators and even big game developers keep using those Power Words to describe their game play, but most of the time they are used loosely, or only mean in-part... So most of the time when I see those words used to describe any game, I go into the game knowing it is most likely not the complete truth... If it is the truth, then I'm pleasantly surprised, and if I was right, then I'm not disappointed at all...
