I had been wondering about that. Geez, when I booted up the game to quickly run in quickly (and turned off because I couldn't see the screen well) I failed to even realize I could go in there, it was only when poking later I saw I could.
Though you're most likely going to want to take her to the bathroom to get the alternate ending, since the alternate ending is also pretty cool.
Volcynika:Make sure you read ALL of Naho's Notes AND THEN visit the reference room on 3F *before* speaking with Satoshi et al. across the gap. If you fail to get all of Naho's Notes, you're locked into a wrong ending path, and if you enter the reference room BEFORE reading all of Naho's Notes, you're locked into a wrong ending path. And if you speak to Satoshi et al. before doing either of these things, you're locked into a wrong ending path.
Also, for the TRUE true ending, don't take Yuka to the bathroom. Seriously, that affects things.

I fell in love with her from Idolm@ster, and from there and on, she hasn't disappointed. Steins Gate... and now Corpse Party.Volcynika:Make sure you read ALL of Naho's Notes AND THEN visit the reference room on 3F *before* speaking with Satoshi et al. across the gap.

That was an inadvertent breast fondle, yes. This game is not above cheap fanservice from time to time.
Kiryogi: Contrary to what people have been saying, Book of Shadows really IS a proper sequel. Not in the sense that its events take place after the story of the first game (though that's true for one chapter), but in the sense that it really does a lot to expand upon and flesh out the story of the first game. Not counting the one chapter that advances the story, half the game takes place BEFORE Corpse Party, showing some of the events leading up to it... and the other half takes place after one of the wrong endings from the original game, showing a series of "what if" scenarios that help flesh out a lot of the side characters who didn't get much screen time the first time around (like Mayu and Morishige).
It's definitely a must-play for fans of the original, and we're really hoping the first game ends up selling well so we can justify working on the second to the powers that be. Because let me tell you, I *really* want to work on Book of Shadows.
This. I would gladly gift it to anyone I knew that owned a psp.
Luigi: Oh, just you wait. Things don't REALLY get real until the end of chapter 4. That's definitely the highlight of the game, for me.
Still not a HUGE-budget production or anything, but it is a noticeably higher-budget game, partially because they dropped the RPGMaker engine and went instead with an engine programmed by Mages, the creators of Steins;Gate.

It's download only, if you go to the PSN store it'll have the "exclusive to Playstation Network" banner on it. I usually hate that kind of crap, but in this case it may be useful to remember to check first on a game that interests you. It's also likely the only practical way to release it given how niche it is.
We tried to include all the information people MIGHT need on the website, though. But most likely, people won't really need any info at all. I mean, this game couldn't be TOO much more straight-forward.
