This is a so-called
Focus Free or Toy Camera. It's a basic plastic camera with really no features. This one even does not have a name. It came unused with its original box.

Its main features are:

34mm wide angle plastic lens, F8, focus free, min focus 1.2m
Shutter ~ 1/100
Double exposure prevention
Size 125 x 43 x 39,  Weight 115 gr.

The box

What's in the box. Camera with strap, bubble plastic wrapping and instructions. Obviously a part of the instructions was copied from a different model. They say: "slide style lens with shutter lock". There is no slider, hence no lock.

Film compartment.
Note the curved film plane, it helps against the vignetting of the simple plastic lens.

These are the ultimate basics of a camera, focus free, single shutter speed and fixed aperture. Point and shoot only. If you choose the right film, ISO 400 in general and ISO 200 on very sunny days, you can shoot outside photos that look OK. The rest will be "Lomo" style. This is the most basic plastic camera I have seen.
