A featureless website with no info or anything?

edit: oh, I see from the comments that it's a presentation and you have to click on the black border where there's no indication that you should click.

Allow me to use this opportunity to mention how awful this is from a UI/UX perspective. Terrible design.

Hard to use on Android as well, since it sets ahistory state for each slide change. Get to the end of the presentation and have to press Back a hundred times to get to where it started. Not great.
Indeed. Why can't we just have pictures on a page that we scroll through? Or just these slides all layed out to scroll through? Why does it have to be fancy (and only half functioning)?
Hmm. It worked fantastically well for me on my nexus 4. I was very pleasantly surprised by this.

EDIT: I now see you are talking about going back to slide 1. I just tested and it took me ~5 seconds to swipe back to the first slide. Or you could easily change the url.

I immediately went for the arrow keys. That being said, I noticed that most people really aren't sure what to do when they see an intro slide [0]. A couple of arrows in the bottom corner never hurt anybody.

There's a difference between an intro slide and a featureless interface that leaves the reader with no clue that it's a slide show.
