Haunted House of Venetian Merchant

With the time machine you built in the Time Traveler's Lab, you traveled back in time to year 1988 to meet your father. Although you weren't able to meet him, you found his travel notes that indicate that he could be in Peru, Italy, or USA in different time periods. You choose to travel to Italy and turn on your dad's time machine that creates a portal connecting to 16th century Venice in Italy as saved in the machine.

Walking out of the time portal, you find yourself standing inside a dimly lit dining room of what looks like a house in medieval Europe. Judging by how awfully quiet it is in here, you assume you are alone in the house. The only thing that breaks this deadly silence is the cackling of a single candle burning above the large dining table. You can't quite put a finger on it, but something about this house feels unnatural. You wonder just what the heck your old man was doing in a creepy place like this.

CREAK..

You spin around to see what just made that sound from behind you. There is nothing but the wall and an old painting of a pale woman looking straight at you with an eerie smile on her face. You feel the hair rising on the back of your neck. The time portal will close automatically in 1 hour. You decide to hurry up and find what clues you can of your dad and get out of this god forsaken place.
