Does anyone have an idea of what this plant could be? I had a roommate move out recently and leave it behind. The “Wild Things” insert has no name but instructions “low/medium light, room temp, keep soil damp). Tried looking it up in the Wild Things website but no luck. Any help is appreciated!

I think it’s a Purple Heart tradescantia. It gets purple and more compact in higher light conditions
