It definitely wants more light, but there's more going on than can be attributed to light issues only. It looks over-watered, and the grow medium looks more water-retentive than it should be for best results. Fortunately, the pot is small enough that excess water retention can easily be fixed with minimal effort (ask if interested). Also, I'm curious to learn if you've been fertilizing regularly?? How do you determine when it's time to water the plant? It should be allowed to dry down to near completely dry between waterings before the soil is flushed with a copious watering.

The plant is quite susceptible to any of several damping off fungi that cause root rot, so soil choice and watering intervals are a key element of keeping them healthy. Lifting the plant from the pot and checking the roots for rot and/or root congestion should prove to be telling. I'll watch for your answers before getting more specific.

How do i fix the excess water retention? i have it in a cacti soil mixed with perlite and i water it about every other week (allowing the soil to dry between waterings). Im not home right now but ill check if the soil is moist near the roots later, although i doubt it would be since i dont water that often. Thanks for answering!!

does the pot drain.. and whats the blue line just above the media ... pot glaze or fertilizer color stain ??

did it ever look like any of these?: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffcm&q=Bear+Paw+Plant&iax=images&ia=images

it might be helpful to confirm the suggested ID ... im no cacti expert.. but it doesnt look like a cacti.. so im wondering about proper media.. and proper watering.. if its not ...

lack of light leads to etoliation.. internodal extension ... but even with that.. i cant believe the plant ever had the form of those at the link ...

or i could be wrong.. its happened before ...lol

The questions about fertilizing and how you decide when it's time to water are important because it helps to eliminate some of the potential causes, apart from inadequate light levels, for your plant's steep decline. When you water, do you ensure the entire soil mass is fully saturated and at least 20% of the total volume of water used exits through the drain hole, carrying accumulating salts from tapwater and fertilizer solutions with it? Too much information is definitely better than not enough if you're looking for advice you can be comfortable applying.

Ken and Al are more experienced than I, but here's what I would do.

Is the plant double potted? If so, permanently remove it from the outer pot which allows too much moisture to build up between the 2 pots.

As Al suggested, gently tip the plant root ball out to see what's going on in there. Is it overly wet, smelly, has dry spots?

I would clip off the dead and get it gradually into more light. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it might be going dormant as winter approaches, so be extra careful about watering. Don't water on a schedule, water when dry and not just dry on the top. When you water, water until it drains out and let the plant sit on a stack of newspaper to finish draining thoroughly. Not sure if this plant is winter dormant, you won't see much change until spring if it is. Just hope for it to live until then.

My 2 cents.
