By making it through the entire game without ever telling a lie.

It's gotta be nearly impossible because in just this short session alone I lied constantly.

Phil lied to a weeping mom about the fate of her missing son and claimed to be a professional athlete so he could investigate a gambler's murder. I lied to an animal rescue worker, a corporate security guard, and a shop vendor so I could get my hands on an item I wanted.
