Cannot figure out what this plant is!

I was given a very large overgrown houseplant but cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. It has A LOT of foliage that looks like some sort of dracaena, but no trunk. The leaves are very droopy and the plant does not stand up on its own. I would greatly appreciate some insight as I would love to get this plant under control and bring it back to life but have no idea what its needs are.

In the lighter photos it looks like snake plant, Sansevieria, but I have never seen it flop over like that. It usually is stiff. But perhaps it is getting too much water. Here are the care requirements:
